Linear Regressions with constraint coefficients
Hi all, I hope you are doing well? I?m currently using the lm() function from the package stats to fit linear multifactor regressions. Unfortunately, I didn?t yet find a way to fit linear multifactor regressions with constraint coefficients? I would like the slope coefficients to be all inside an interval, let?s say, between 0 and 1. Further, if possible, the slope coefficients should add up to 1. Is there an elegant and not too complicated way to do such a constraint regression estimation in R? I would very much appreciate if you could help me with my issue? Thanks a lot in advance and kind regards, Aljosa Aleksandrovic Aljosa Aleksandrovic, FRM, CAIA Quantitative Analyst - Convertibles aljosa.aleksandrovic at man.com Tel +41 55 417 7603 Man Investments (CH) AG Huobstrasse 3 | 8808 Pf?ffikon SZ | Switzerland -----Original Message----- From: Kevin E.

Perhaps there was another layer that subsequently rejected it after that. I didn't notice any unusual content. Try again, making sure you send the message in plain text only.
