turnover_constraint: constructor for turnover_constraint

Description

The turnover constraint specifies a target turnover value. This function is called by add.constraint when type="turnover" is specified, see add.constraint. Turnover is calculated from a set of initial weights. Turnover is computed as sum(abs(initial_weights - weights)) / N where N is the number of assets.

Usage

turnover_constraint(type = "turnover", turnover_target, enabled = TRUE,
  message = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

type

character type of the constraint

turnover_target

enabled

message

any other passthru parameters to specify box and/or group constraints

Value
