[R-SIG-Finance] Parma / MAxReward Portfolio

[alexios]

Why don't you use riskType="minrisk"? They are equivalent!
And parma in any case only uses the minrisk.

...but, when in doubt:

library(xts)
data("etfdata")
R = etfdata/lag(etfdata)-1
R = na.omit(R)
S = cov(coredata(R))
LB = rep(0, 15)
UB = rep(1, 15)
fmu = colMeans(coredata(R))

spec = parmaspec(S = S, forecast = fmu, target = NULL, LB = LB, UB = UB,
risk = "EV", riskType = "minrisk", targetType = "equality",budget = 1)

frontqp = parmafrontier(spec, n.points = 100)
riskB = sqrt(frontqp[,"EV"])
rewardQP = frontqp[,"reward"]

rewardSOCP = rep(0, 100)
control=list(abs.tol = 1e-8, rel.tol = 1e-8, Nu=4, max.iter=1250,
BigM.K = 4, BigM.iter = 15)
for(i in 1:100){
spec = parmaspec(S = S, forecast = fmu, target = NULL, LB = LB, UB = UB, 
riskB = riskB[i], risk = "EV", riskType = "maxReward", targetType = 
"equality",budget = 1)
tmp<-parmasolve(spec, solver="SOCP",solver.control=control)
rewardSOCP[i]=parmareward(tmp)
}

par(mfrow=c(2,1))
plot(rewardQP)
lines(rewardSOCP, col=2)
plot(riskB, rewardQP)
lines(riskB, rewardSOCP, col=2)
