A set of tools for shrinkage estimation of mean-variance optimal portfolios

Description

Package HDShOP has the following three important functions: MVShrinkPortfolio, CovarEstim and MeanEstim. MVShrinkPortfolio creates mean-variance portfolios using shrinkage estimation methods for portfolio weights. CovarEstim computes several estimators of the covariance matrix, while MeanEstim computes several estimators of the mean vector. Each of these three functions is supplied a name of the method used to perform the estimation. All portfolios are stored in objects of class MeanVar_portfolio and some have a subclass, specific to their kind, that inherits from MeanVar_portfolio. For the latter class constructor, validator and helper functions are available, so that custom mean-variance portfolios may be coded by users.
