Description

This function computes the extreme frontier

Usage

1
  MaxEntropy(G, w_b, w_0, Constr)

Arguments

G

map weights -> conditional diversification distribution (square root of, not normalized)

w_b

a matrix containing the benchmark weights

w_0

a matrix containing the initial portfolio weights

Constr

a list containing the equality and inequality constraints

Value

x a numeric containing the maximum entropy

N_{ent} \equiv exp \big(-∑_{n=k+1}^N p_{n} ln p_{n} \big), w_{ \varphi } \equiv argmax_{w \in C, μ'w ≥q \varphi } N_{ent} \big(w\big)
