Modern Portfolio Optimization with Nuopt(tm), S-Plus(r), and S+bayes(tm) Hardcover - 2005
by Bernd Scherer; R. Douglas Martin
First line
In order to familiarize the reader with NUOPT for S-PLUS, we will start with the most prominent subjects in both finance and operations research and show how we can check for arbitrage in security returns using linear programming techniques.
From the rear cover
In recent years portfolio optimization and construction methodologies have become an increasingly critical ingredient of asset and fund management, while at the same time portfolio risk assessment has become an essential ingredient in risk management, and this trend will only accelerate in the coming years. Unfortunately there is a large gap between the limited treatment of portfolio construction methods that are presented in most university courses with relatively little hands-on experience and limited computing tools, and the rich and varied aspects of portfolio construction that are used in practice in the finance industry. Current practice demands the use of modern methods of portfolio construction that go well beyond the classical Markowitz mean-variance optimality theory and require the use of powerful scalable numerical optimization methods. This book fills the gap between current university instruction and current industry practice by providing a comprehensive computationally-oriented treatment of modern portfolio optimization and construction methods. The computational aspect of the book is based on extensive use of S-Plus(R), the S+NuOPT(TM) optimization module, the S-Plus Robust Library and the S+Bayes(TM) Library, along with about 100 S-Plus scripts and some CRSP(R) sample data sets of stock returns. A special time-limited version of the S-Plus software is available to purchasers of this book.
"For money managers and investment professionals in the field, optimization is truly a can of worms rather left un-opened, until now! Here lies a thorough explanation of almost all possibilities one can think of for portfolio optimization, complete with error estimation techniques and explanation of when non-normality plays a part. A highly recommended and practical handbook for the consummate professional and student alike!"
Steven P. Greiner, Ph.D.

"The authors take a huge step in the long struggle to establish applied post-modern portfolio theory. The optimization and statistical techniques generalize the normal linear model to include robustness, non-normality, and semi-conjugate Bayesian analysis via MCMC. The techniques are very clearly demonstrated by the extensive use and tight integration of S-Plus software. Their book should be an enormous help to students and practitioners trying to move beyond traditional modern portfolio theory."
