[R-SIG-Finance] What's the best package for SOCP in R?

[Pfaff, Bernhard Dr.]

Dear Ilya & Alexios,

given that the Alexios played the ball into my court, please find below a toy example to your problem:
(the parma package is loaded for the data set)

library(parma)
library(cccp)
data("etfdata")
R = etfdata/lag(etfdata)-1
R = na.omit(R * 100)
N <- ncol(R)
S = cov(coredata(R))
Se <- eigen(S)
Sr <- Se$vectors %*% diag(sqrt(Se$values)) %*% t(Se$vectors)
all.equal(Sr %*% Sr, S, check.attributes = FALSE)
mu <- colMeans(R)
q <- -mu
## Formulating constraints
## Non-negativity & SOC
nvec <- rep(0, N)
nno1 <- nnoc(G = -diag(N), h = nvec)
soc1 <- socc(F = Sr, g = nvec, d = nvec, f = 1.5)
## Budget constraint
A <- matrix(rep(1, N), nrow = 1, ncol = N)
b <- matrix(1, nrow = 1, ncol = 1)
## Solving problem
Popt <- cccp(q = q, A = A, b = b,
             cList = list(nno1, soc1))
w <- getx(Popt)
## checking
all(w > 0)
all.equal(sum(w), 1.0)
(retmax <- -getstate(Popt)["pobj"])
(sdrisk <- drop(sqrt(crossprod(w, S) %*% w)))

Best wishes,
Bernhard

Ilya, Bernhard's cccp package should be the definitive socp package in R now.
cran.r-project.org/package=cccp
