similar to: Non-linear constraints under Markowitz

I hope that someone can help me with the following question: I would like to solve the Markowitz optimization problem WITH short-sale constraints. Maybe a procedure to solve a quadratic optimization problem with convex constraints and positive variables is already implemented in R? Thank you very much, edg -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help

Hi everyone! I have a data frame with 1112 time series and I am going to randomly sampling r samples for z times to compose different portfolio size(r securities portfolio). As for r=2 and z=10000,that's: z=10000 A=seq(1:1112) x1=sample(A,z,replace =TRUE) x2=sample(A,z,replace =TRUE) M=cbind(x1,x2) # combination of 2 series Because in a portfolio with x1[i]=x2[i],(i=1,2,...,10000) means a 1

Hello All, I would like to optimize a (log-)likelihood function subject to a number of linear constraints between parameters. These constraints are equality constraints of the form A%*%theta=c, ie (1,1) %*% 0.8,0.2)^t = 1 meaning that these parameters should sum to one. Moreover, there are bounds on the individual parameters, in most cases that I am considering parameters are bound between zero

Hello, After installing and loading the package "portfolio", I tried to run the example code provided, and it would not run. this is the link: http://rss.acs.unt.edu/Rdoc/library/tseries/html/portfolio.optim.html this is the example code, as found at the link: x <- rnorm(1000) dim(x) <- c(500,2) res <- portfolio.optim(x) res$pw the error I get is: Error: could not find

Hello. I don't understand a particular output of portfolio.optim (tseries). I have 4 assets and the portfolio.optim returns an asset with weight equals to zero. If I do a portfolio.optim with 3 assets, without the asset with weight equals to zero, it returns a completely different result. That's I would expected the same weights as the run with 4 assets. Below the code. Thanks in

Thanks Bert. But everyone on that forum wants to use finance tools rather than general optimization stuff! And I am not optimizing a traditional Markowitz mean-variance problem. Plus, smarter people here. :-) > On May 3, 2018, at 3:01 PM, Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at gmail.com> wrote: > > You can't -- at least as I read the docs for ?optim (but I'm pretty > ignorant

Hi, I'm an R newbie and I've been struggling with a optimization problem for the past couple of days now. Here's the problem - I have a matrix of expected payouts from different stock option strategies. Each column in my matrix represents a different stock and each row represents the return to the strategy given a certain market move. So the rows are not a time series of percentage

I''m a total Rails newbie and i''ve been struggling for hours today with one (prolly very silly) problem: I have a table portfolios that has many images: class Portfolio < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :images end class Image < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :portfolios end In the controller i define a list of active portfolios: @active_portfolios =

Full_Name: Ansgar Steland Version: 0.90.0 OS: Linux 6.1 FreeBSD 3.2 Submission from: (NULL) (62.104.196.10) Dear R Team, Yesterday I downloaded R 0.90.0 and the current versions of some packages (tseries, quadprog,...). I had no problems to build the program using FreeBSD 3.2 and SuSe Linux 6.1. I also re-build all packages required by tseries. I checked out portfolio.optim (package:

Hello, I hesitate to call this a bug, because I could have forgotten something important, but the MarkowitzPortfolio example in fPortfolio does not work for me.

Running R version 2.6.1 under Gentoo Linux and using the fPortfolio package, I am having trouble specifying a sector constraint. One of the constraints to be imposed is that assets 1 and 2 together account for no more than 13.63% of the portfolio. My attempt at coding that constraint, "maxsumW[1:2Assets]=13.63" fails. The relevant section of my code file and the resulting error

Hi Michael, A few comments 1. To add the constraint sum(wgt.vect=1) you would use the method of Lagrange multipliers. What this means is that in addition to the w_i (the components of the weight variables) you would add an additional variable, call it lambda. Then you would modify your optim.fun() function to add the term lambda * (sum(wgt.vect - 1) 2. Are you sure that you have defined

Dear All, I am using package fPortfolio to run minimum variance portfolio optimizations in R. I already know how to set portfolioSpecs, portfolio objects and constraints. Unfortunately I am not able to set the following type of constraints. I have a timeSeries object with returns data for roughly 1.5k assets for 261 subperiods (workingdays) and want to compute the global minimum variance

Dear sir, I am extremely sorry for messing up the logic asking for help w.r.t. my earlier mails   I have tried to explain below what I am looking for.     I have a database (say, currency_rates) storing datewise currency exchange rates with some base currency XYZ.   currency_rates <- data.frame(date = c("12/31/2010", "12/30/2010", "12/29/2010",

Dear All, i want to use garch model in return of stock. and the data should presence volatility cluster (Heteroscedasticity). Do you know how to test volatility cluster (the presence of heteroscedasticity) in series data of stock return in R? Is it using Langrange Multiplier (LM) ARCH test? what package i should use? I really need the help. Thanks for the attention. Eko A P

Hei Im struggling with this problem: b) Another company wants to compose the optimal project portfolio based on the following 5- year project proposals.

Below I have written out some simplified data from my dataset. My goal is to interpolate Price based on timestamp. Therefore the closer a Price is in time to another price, the more like that price it will be. I want the interpolations for each St and not across St (St is a factor with levels A, B, and C). Unfortunately, I get error messages from code I wrote. In the end only IDs 10 and 14 will

Hi, I need some help with Portfolio Optimization problem. I am trying to find the minimum variance portfolio subjected to constraints on weights like /x1< w1 <x2 x3< w2 <x4</i> I need help with solving for the minimum variance portfolio as solve.QP doesn't allow me to specify the lower boundaries.
