Functions to implement Ralph Vince's Leverage Space Portfolio Model in R.
This project has moved from R-Forge to GitHub :
https://github.com/joshuaulrich/LSPM
These examples are based on revision 31 from r-forge and
will not work under earlier revisions (and may not work with later revisions). LSPM is still in
very alpha status. Expect things to change, perhaps significantly.
These examples were run using code from DEoptim_1.3-3 that has been bundled inside LSPM. We are working with the DEoptim authors to address issues with more recent versions of DEoptim. LSPM will use the most recent version of DEoptim as soon as the issues are resolved.
The first two examples are taken from
Vince, Ralph (2009). The Leverage Space Trading Model. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The results will not match the book because of differences between optimization via DEoptim and Ralph's genetic algorithm implementation. Ralph believes his genetic algorithm is getting hung up on a local maximum, whereas DEoptim is closer to the global solution.
