style.fit by month
Hi R-users, it is the first time for me writing to this group. I would be grateful if somebody could help me to find a solution to my problem. I am working on my final thesis and I would like to analyse the impact of return frequency using return-based style analysis. Specifically I would like to calculate attributable returns. An attributalbe return is the difference between the realised return of a fund and the forecast from using the estimated style coefficients multiplied by the respective indexseries. I am using the implemented functions for style analysis in the PerformanceAnalytics Package. I would like to use the quadratic programming algorithm just for each day in a specific month, i.e. use the daily returns from january to calculate the style weigths. This should be done month by month. In the next step the calculation should include two months of data and calculate the style weigths month by month. So far I tried to usw apply.month in combination with style.fit. This returns the same results for each month. In the next step I tried to use some code out of chart.RollingStyle. I change it for my purpose and receive the style weights in a rolling calculation and could enable the by option. So I get styleweights over a specific width and could shift the calculation by a specified block, i.e. calculate styleweigths for 20 days shifting this calculation by the next 20 days. What I would like to have is a shifting by month to use the last month realised daily returns to forecast the style weigths for the next month. Has somebody an idea how to handle this problem? Thank you in advance Ren? Naarmann
