Hi! I have a quadratic optimization problem and I have some difficulties coding it with R. The math version of the problem looks like this:
min sum(mj -mj^)^2 which goes from 1 to J st. mj-1 <= mj - delta1 1/(Qj-1 -Qj-2)(mj-2 -mj-1) <= 1/(Qj -Qj-1 ) (mj-1 - mj) -delta2 And I'm coding it like this: Dmat <- matrix(0, J,J) diag(Dmat) <- 1 dvec <- -hsmooth Aeq <- 0 beq <- 0 Amat <- matrix(0,2*J-3,J) bvec <- rep(0,2*J-3) for(j in 1:J) { Amat[j-1,j-1] = -1 Amat[j-1,j] = 1 bvec[j-1] = Delta1 } for(j in 2:J) { Amat[J-1+j-2,j] = -1/ (Q[j] - Q[j-1]) Amat[J-1+j-2,j-1]= 1/(Q[j] - Q[j-1]) + 1/(Q[j-1] - Q[j-2]) Amat[J-1+j-2,j-2]= -1/(Q[j-1] - Q[j-2]) bvec[J-1+j-1]= Delta2 } solution <- solve.QP(Dmat, dvec, Amat, bvec) I get errors: Error in Amat[J - 1 + j - 2, j - 1] <- 1/(Q[j] - Q[j - 1]) + 1/(Q[j - : replacement has length zero And Error in solve.QP(Dmat, dvec, Amat, bvec) : Amat and dvec are incompatible! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, and I really could use some help with this. Thanks in advance!
