Hi! I was wondering if someone could help me out. I'm minimizing a following function:
\begin{equation} $$\sum_{j=1}^{J}(m_{j} -\hat{m_{j}})^2,$$ \text{subject to} $$m_{j-1}\leq m_{j}-\delta_{1}$$ $$\frac{1}{Q_{j-1}-Q_{j-2}} (m_{j-2}-m_{j-1}) \leq \frac{1}{Q_{j}-Q_{j-1}} (m_{j-1}-m_{j})-\delta_{2} $$ \end{equation} I have tried quadratic programming, but something is off. Does anyone have an idea how to approach this? Thanks in advance! Q <- rep(0,J) for(j in 1:(length(Price))){ Q[j] <- exp((-0.1) * (Beta *Price[j]^(Eta + 1) - 1) / (1 + Eta)) } Dmat <- matrix(0,nrow= J, ncol=J) diag(Dmat) <- 1 dvec <- -hs Aeq <- 0 beq <- 0 Amat <- matrix(0,J,2*J-3) bvec <- matrix(0,2*J-3,1) for(j in 2:nrow(Amat)){ Amat[j-1,j-1] = -1 Amat[j,j-1] = 1 } for(j in 3:nrow(Amat)){ Amat[j,J+j-3] = -1/(Q[j]-Q[j-1]) Amat[j-1,J+j-3] = 1/(Q[j]-Q[j-1]) Amat[j-2,J+j-3] = -1/(Q[j-1]-Q[j-2]) } for(j in 2:ncol(bvec)) { bvec[j-1] = Delta1 } for(j in 3:ncol(bvec)) { bvec[J-1+j-2] = Delta2 } solution <- solve.QP(Dmat,dvec,Amat,bvec=bvec) [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
