how to use solve.QP
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

The quadprog package
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).

Problems using quadprog for solving quadratic programming problem
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

Help with factorized argument in solve.QP
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

Constraints in Quadprog
I'm having difficulty figuring out how to implement the following set of constraints in Quadprog: 1). x1+x2+x3+x4=a1 2). x1+x2+x5+x6=a2 3). x1+x3+x5+x7=a3 4). x1+x2=b1 5). x1+x3=b2 6). x1+x5=b3 for the problem: MIN (x1-c1)2+(x2-c2)2+...+(x8-c8)2. As far a I understand, "solve.QP(Dmat, dvec, Amat, bvec, meq=0, factorized=FALSE)" reads contraints using an element-by-element

quadprog issues---how to define the constriants
Hi list: This is my first time to post my question on the list. Thanks for your help. I am solving a quadratic programming using R. Here is my question: w = arg min 0.5*w'Mw - w'N s. t. sum(w) = 1; w>0 note: w is weight vector, each w_i must >=0, and the sum of w =1. Here is my R code: A <-matrix(c(2.26,1.26,1.12,1.12,2.27,1.13,1.12,1.13,2.2),3,3); B <-

using solve.qp without a quadratic term
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

Constrained regression
Dear list members, I am trying to get information on how to fit a linear regression with constrained parameters. Specifically, I have 8 predictors , their coeffiecients should all be non-negative and add up to 1. I understand it is a quadratic programming problem but I have no experience in the subject. I searched the archives but the results were inconclusive. Could someone provide suggestions

Quadprog help
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.

Constrained Regression
Hello everyone, I have 3 variables Y, X1 and X2. Each variables lies between 0 and 1. I want to do a constrained regression such that a>0 and (1-a) >0 for the model: Y = a*X1 + (1-a)*X2 I tried the help on the constrained regression in R but I concede that it was not helpful. Any help is greatly appreciated -- Thanks, Jim. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Quadratic programming with semi-definite matrix
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

Solve.QP
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

Help for bootstrapping‏
I have a set of data for US t-bill returns and US stock returns frm 1980-2012. I am trying to bootstrap the data and obtain the minimum variance portfolio and repeat this portfolio 1000 times. However I am unable to get the correct code function for the minimum variance portfolio. When I tried to enter Opt(OriData+1, 1, 5, 0), I get "error:subscript out of bounds" Please help!

quadprog error?
I forgot to attach the problem data, 'quadprog.Rdata' file, in my prior email. I want to report a following error with quadprog. The solve.QP function finds a solution to the problem below that violates the last equality constraint. I tried to solve the same problem using ipop from kernlab package and get the solution in which all equality constraints are enforced. I also tried an old

fPortfolio prob: maxreturnPortfolio() returns Na/NaN/Inf error
Hi - First posting here. I am using fPortfolio to try and optimize a simple portfolio consisting of 5 daily return series. I want to maximize return subject to setTargetRisk(myspec)=0.08 using only constraints="LongOnly" I can run feasiblePortfolio() using a spec file that specifies the weights, and it works fine. When I run maxreturnPortfolio(mydata,myspec,"LongOnly"),

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:

use pcls to solve least square fitting with constraints
