Does anybody know anything about quadratic programming in Stata?
I'm looking for something that would be done in Matlab by the qp command,
available in the Matlab Optimization Toolbox:
% X=QP(H,f,A,b) solves the quadratic programming problem:
%
% min 0.5*x'Hx + f'x subject to: Ax <= b
I've searched the usual places and come up with almost nothing, which
makes me think that the facility in Stata doesn't exist, and wouldn't be
trivial to implement.
If anybody could offer any suggestions on how the problem could be
approached, or whether it's as non-trivial as I fear, or whether they
know someone who has already written something like this for Stata, I'd
be very grateful to hear about it.
Cheers,
Mark
