answer:I apologize for any confusion in my previous responses. You can rewrite your problem using auxiliary variables to avoid needing to register any functions or use the `@NL*` macros. Here's an example of how you can do this: ```julia function opt_portfolio_both(rates_of_return, r_min, var_max) portfolio = Model(Ipopt.Optimizer) set_silent(portfolio) r_mean = mean(rates_of_return, dims=1) covar = cov(rates_of_return) @variable(portfolio, x[1:size(rates_of_return)[2]] >= 0) # Define auxiliary variables for mean and variance of the portfolio @variable(portfolio, mu) @variable(portfolio, sigma_sq) @constraint(portfolio, sum(x) == 1) @constraint(portfolio, mu == sum(x[i] * r_mean'[i] for i in 1:length(x))) @constraint(portfolio, sigma_sq == sum(x[i] * covar[i, j] * x[j] for i in 1:length(x), j in 1:length(x))) @constraint(portfolio, mu >= r_min) @constraint(portfolio, sigma_sq <= var_max) # Maximize mu subject to sum of (x1^2, x2^2, x3^2, ...) <=> Minimize -mu @objective(portfolio, Min, -mu) optimize!(portfolio) weights_opt = value.(x) mean_opt = value(mu) sdev_opt = sqrt(value(sigma_sq)) return weights_opt, mean_opt, sdev_opt end ``` In this example, we are defining auxiliary variables `mu` and `sigma_sq` that represent the mean and variance of the portfolio, respectively, instead of directly using your previously defined functions. Linear constraints are used to relate these auxiliary variables to the decision variables `x`, instead of computing the portfolio mean and variance directly in the objective function.

answer:Apologies for the confusion. It seems that the DataFrame type is not being handled correctly. To resolve this error, you can convert your rates_of_return to a matrix before calculating the mean and the covariance. Then you can use the `mean()` function from the Statistics module. Here is your updated `opt_portfolio_both` function: ```julia using Statistics function opt_portfolio_both(rates_of_return, r_min, var_max) portfolio = Model(Ipopt.Optimizer) set_silent(portfolio) rates_matrix = Matrix(rates_of_return) r_mean = mean(rates_matrix, dims=1) covar = cov(rates_matrix) size_rates = size(rates_of_return)[2] @variable(portfolio, x[1:size_rates] >= 0) # Define auxiliary variables for mean and variance of the portfolio @variable(portfolio, mu) @variable(portfolio, sigma_sq) @constraint(portfolio, sum(x) == 1) @constraint(portfolio, mu == dot(r_mean', x)) @constraint(portfolio, sigma_sq == quad_form(x, covar)) @constraint(portfolio, mu >= r_min) @constraint(portfolio, sigma_sq <= var_max) # Maximize mu subject to sum of (x1^2, x2^2, x3^2, ...) <=> Minimize -mu @objective(portfolio, Min, -mu) optimize!(portfolio) weights_opt = value.(x) mean_opt = value(mu) sdev_opt = sqrt(value(sigma_sq)) return weights_opt, mean_opt, sdev_opt end ``` These changes should resolve the error. Make sure to adjust the input rates_of_return accordingly to ensure it is a DataFrame.

answer:My apologies for the oversight. It seems that I used `quad_form` without importing it from the JuMP package. Please import it at the beginning of your script with: ```julia using JuMP: quad_form ``` Here is the updated `opt_portfolio_both` function: ```julia using Statistics using JuMP: quad_form function opt_portfolio_both(rates_of_return, r_min, var_max) portfolio = Model(Ipopt.Optimizer) set_silent(portfolio) rates_matrix = Matrix(rates_of_return) r_mean = mean(rates_matrix, dims=1) covar = cov(rates_matrix) size_rates = size(rates_of_return)[2] @variable(portfolio, x[1:size_rates] >= 0) # Define auxiliary variables for mean and variance of the portfolio @variable(portfolio, mu) @variable(portfolio, sigma_sq) @constraint(portfolio, sum(x) == 1) @constraint(portfolio, mu == dot(r_mean', x)) @constraint(portfolio, sigma_sq == quad_form(x, covar)) @constraint(portfolio, mu >= r_min) @constraint(portfolio, sigma_sq <= var_max) # Maximize mu subject to sum of (x1^2, x2^2, x3^2, ...) <=> Minimize -mu @objective(portfolio, Min, -mu) optimize!(portfolio) weights_opt = value.(x) mean_opt = value(mu) sdev_opt = sqrt(value(sigma_sq)) return weights_opt, mean_opt, sdev_opt end ``` This should resolve the error, and your code should work as expected. Make sure to import quad_form from the JuMP package.

answer:Apologies for the confusion, you are right. `quad_form` is not a built-in function in JuMP. I made a mistake in my previous response. You can replace `quad_form(x, covar)` with the correct expression, which is `sum(x[i] * covar[i, j] * x[j] for i in 1:length(x), j in 1:length(x))`. Here's the updated `opt_portfolio_both` function: ```julia using Statistics function opt_portfolio_both(rates_of_return, r_min, var_max) portfolio = Model(Ipopt.Optimizer) set_silent(portfolio) rates_matrix = Matrix(rates_of_return) r_mean = mean(rates_matrix, dims=1) covar = cov(rates_matrix) size_rates = size(rates_of_return)[2] @variable(portfolio, x[1:size_rates] >= 0) # Define auxiliary variables for mean and variance of the portfolio @variable(portfolio, mu) @variable(portfolio, sigma_sq) @constraint(portfolio, sum(x) == 1) @constraint(portfolio, mu == dot(r_mean', x)) @constraint(portfolio, sigma_sq == sum(x[i] * covar[i, j] * x[j] for i in 1:length(x), j in 1:length(x))) @constraint(portfolio, mu >= r_min) @constraint(portfolio, sigma_sq <= var_max) # Maximize mu subject to sum of (x1^2, x2^2, x3^2, ...) <=> Minimize -mu @objective(portfolio, Min, -mu) optimize!(portfolio) weights_opt = value.(x) mean_opt = value(mu) sdev_opt = sqrt(value(sigma_sq)) return weights_opt, mean_opt, sdev_opt end ``` This version should work as expected. Apologies for the confusion, and thank you for your patience.
