rolloptim

Overview

rolloptim is a package that provides analytical computation of rolling optimization for time-series data.

Installation

Install the development version from GitHub:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jasonjfoster/rolloptim") # roll (>= 1.1.7)

Usage

Load the package and supply a dataset:

library(rolloptim)

n_vars <- 3
n_obs <- 15
x <- matrix(rnorm(n_obs * n_vars), nrow = n_obs, ncol = n_vars)
y <- rnorm(n_obs)

mu <- roll::roll_mean(x, 5)
xx <- roll::roll_crossprod(x, x, 5)
xy <- roll::roll_crossprod(x, y, 5)
sigma <- roll::roll_cov(x, width = 5)

Then, to compute rolling optimization, use the functions:

# rolling optimization to minimize variance
roll_min_var(sigma)

# rolling optimization to maximize mean
roll_max_mean(mu)

# rolling optimization to minimize residual sum of squares
roll_min_rss(xx, xy)

# rolling optimization to maximize utility
roll_max_utility(mu, sigma, lambda = 1)

Note that handling of constraints is implemented by default (see the total, lower, and upper arguments).
