Hi all! I have a little question concerning quadprog. To make it simple I'll start by stating the problem: I want to minimize h(d,delta)=0.5d^T B d +nabla(f(x))^T d +rho*delta^2 With respect to d\in R^n and delta \in R. I obviously have constraints (depending on both d and delta). Solve.QP does give me a good result for d but I cannot obtain anything for delta. Simce dim(Dmat)=n and

Hi there, I have a major problem (major for me that is) with solve.QP and I'm new at this. You see, to solve my quadratic program I need to have the lagrange multipliers after each iteration. Solve.QP gives me the solution, the unconstrained solution aswell as the optimal value. Does anybody have an idea for how I could extract the multipliers? Thanx, Serge "Beatus qui prodest quibus

Hi, I'm using the package quadprog to solve the following quadratic programming problem. I want to minimize the function (b_1-b_2)^2+(b_3-b_4)^2 by the following constraints b_i, i=1,...,4: b_1+b_3=1 b_2+b_4=1 0.1<=b_1<=0.2 0.2<=b_2<=0.4 0.8<=b_3<=0.9 0.6<=b_4<=0.8 In my opinion the solution should be b_1=b_2=0.2 und b_3=b_4=0.8. Unfortunately R doesn't find

Hello. I'm trying to solve a quadratic programming problem of the form min ||Hx - y||^2 s.t. x >= 0 and x <= t using solve.QP in the quadprog package but I'm having problems with Dmat not being positive definite, which is kinda okay since I expect it to be numerically semi-definite in most cases. As far as I'm aware the problem arises because the Goldfarb and Idnani method first

I was playing around with a simple example using solve.qp ( function is in the quadprog package ) and the code is below. ( I'm not even sure there if there is a reasonable solution because I made the problem up ). But, when I try to use solve.QP to solve it, I get the error that D in the quadratic function is not positive definite. This is because Dmat is zero because I don't have a

Dear R Users , As a beginner in QP, I'm trying to solve a Support Vector Machine problem by a QP. In particulare I am using the quadprog package. My questions are here: 1- In the document for the package (The quadprog Package), the inequality constraint is mentioned with >= , however in a standard QP, this usaully is written with <= . This constraint should be multiplied by a

I have a set of data that includes various data columns. One if the survival time and another if a continuous variable of ages. I want to put the ages into intervals so that I can then perform the Kalpan Meier test. I am trying to use the following code to build a column with the age group numbers in agecatagory<-c( ) for (i in 1:137) { { if(age[i]<=46) {agecat[i]<-1} if(age[i]>46

Dear R-users, i try to solve to following linear programm in R 0 * x_1 + 2/3 * x_2 + 1/3 * x_3 + 1/3 * x_4 = 0.3 x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = 1 x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4 > 0, x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4 < 1 as you can see i have no objective function here besides that i use the following code. library(lpSolve) f.obj<-c(1,1,1,1) f.con<-matrix(c(0,2/3,1/3,1/3, 1,1,1,1,

Hi I'm having problems getting the "factorized" argument in solve.QP (part of the quadprog library) to work as expected. The helpfile states that when the factorized argument is set to TRUE, then the function requires the inverse of a square-root factor of the Hessian instead of the Hessian itself. That is, when factorized=TRUE, the Dmat argument should be a matrix R^(-1), such

At the risk of ridicule for my deficient linear algebra skills, I ask for help using the solve.QP function to do portfolio optimization. I am trying to following a textbook example and need help converting the problem into the format required by solve.QP. Below is my sample code if anyone is willing to go through it. This problem will not solve because it is not set up properly. I hope I

I am having some problems using Quadprog in R. I want to minimize the objective function : 200*P1-1/2*10*P1^2+100*P2-1/2*5*P2^2+160*P3-1/2*8*P3^2+50*P4-1/2*10*P4^2+50*P 5-1/2*20*P5^2+50*P6-1/2*10*P6^2, Subject to a set of constrains including not only the variables P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, but also the variables X1, X2,X3,X4,X5,X6,X7,X8,X9. As the set of variables X's are not

Dear list, I am trying to follow an example that estimates a 2x2 markov transition matrix across several periods from aggregate data using restricted least squares. I seem to be making headway using solve.QP(quadprog) as the unrestricted solution matches the example I am following, and I can specify simple equality and inequality constraints. However, I cannot correctly specify a constraint

Hi everybody, I'm using Windows XP Prof, R 2.5.1 and a Pentium 4 Processor. Now, I want to solve a quadratic optimization program (Portfolio Selection) with the quadprog package I want to minimize (\omega'%*%\Sigma%*%\omega) Subject to (1) \iota' %*% \omega = 1 (full investment) (2) R'%*%\omega = \mu (predefined expectation value) (3) \omega \ge 0 (no short sales). Where

(Warning: I'm not an R guy. I'm a Python guy trying to get the R-Python interface working again after some upgrades.) I'm trying to upgrade our numpy/rpy/matplotlib environment (Solaris 10/Intel, Python 2.4). In the process I found I needed to rebuild R (2.1.1) because it was compiled with gcc 3.3.2 and we have since migrated to gcc 3.4.1. I'm using this configure setup:

Hello, I have to compute a multiple summation (not an integration because the independent variables a are discrete) for all the values of a function of several variables f (x_1,...,x_n), that is sum ... sum f(x_1,...,x_n) x_1 x_n have you some suggestion? Is it possible? I know that for multiple integration there is the function adapt, but it has at most n=20. In my case n depends on the

Dear R-Users, I need to find a smooth function f() and coefficients a_i that give the best fit to y ~ a_0 + a_1*f(x_1) + a_2*f(x_2) Note that it is the same non-linear transformation f() that is applied to both x_1 and x_2. So my first question is how can I do it in R? A more general question is this: suppose I have a utility function U(a_i, f()), where f() is say a spline. Is there a general

Dear List: I cannot seem to find a way to plot my data correctly. I have a small data frame with 6 total variables (x_1 ... x_6). I am trying to plot x_1 against x_2 and x_3. I have tried plot(x_2, x_1) #obviously works fine plot(x_3, x_1, add=TRUE) # Does not work. I keep getting error messages. I would also like to add ablines to this plot. I have experimented with a number of other

Hi all, I'd like to fit a multivariate regression with the variance of the error term porportional to the predictors, like the WLS in the univariate case. y_1~x_1+x_2 y_2~x_1+x_2 var(y_1)=x_1*sigma_1^2 var(y_2)=x_2*sigma_2^2 cov(y_1,y_2)=sqrt(x_1*x_2)*sigma_12^2 How can I specify this in R? Is there a corresponding function to the univariate specification lm(y~x,weights=x)??

Dear All, I am wondering on how to use the abline.xyplot with xyplot such that I will have different vertical lines for each panel. More sepcifically, suppose that the xyplot generates 4 panels defined by the combination of two binary variables: X_1 and X_2. i.e. xyplot(Y ~ Z | X_1*X_2, data = df) I want something like: abline(v = 5) if X_1=0 and X_2 = 0 abline(v =

Hi All Apologies if this is not the correct list for this question. The Rglpk package offers the following example in its documentation library(Rglpk) ## Simple mixed integer linear program. ## maximize: 3 x_1 + 1 x_2 + 3 x_3 ## subject to: -1 x_1 + 2 x_2 + x_3 <= 4 ## 4 x_2 - 3 x_3 <= 2 ## x_1 - 3 x_2 + 2 x_3 <= 3 ## x_1, x_3 are non-negative integers ## x_2 is a non-negative real
