Portfolio Optimization involves choosing proportions of assets to be held in a portfolio, so as to make the portfolio better than any other. In this research, we use a software for statistical computing R to analyse the performance of portfolio optimization models which include; Markowitz's Mean-Variance (MV) model, the VaR model, and Konno and Yamazaki's Mean-Absolute Deviation (MAD) model. We start by analysing multi-asset data for the major indexes in the world followed by historical data of 16 constituent shares listed on the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE) covering 6.5 years. The paper then tests the stock performance of the models using R. We found that GREXP bonds dominated the world market as they accounted for more than 60% of the Maximum Diversified Portfolio (MDP). For the USE, we generated more risk measures like volatility, Sharpe Ratio (SR), Risk Parity (RP), Expected Shortfall (ES) or CVaR which we used to assess stock performance. UMEME, NVL, BATU, JHL, DFCU, EBL, EABL, KCB, SBU and CENT were the bestperforming stocks. By understanding the performance of portfolio optimization models in R, Ugandan investors will develop a better view of the latest performance of the stocks listed on the USE. This will help them to decide on which stocks to include in their investment portfolios, thus prevent wrong investment decisions.
We consider a two-agent scheduling problem in a two-machine flow shop environment where each agent is responsible for his own set of jobs and wishes to minimize the makespan. The objective is to minimize one agent’s makespan, subject to the other’s objective of not exceeding a given threshold. It is known that the problem is NP-hard. Thus, we consider special cases such that the processing times of each agent have a special structure, and analyze their computational complexity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
