After the theoretical analysis, section 8 of Universal Portfolios provides examples. We now use logopt and R to reproduce them, the first three in this post.Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't.
The examples of Universal Portfolios use a long time series of relative stock prices on the NYSE originally accumulated by Cover himself. This series has been reused by many authors to allow for comparisons of algorithms, and the series is available in logopt itself (originally downloaded from this website).
The two first figures introduce two specific stocks (8.1), then a series of CRP and Universal Portfolio for these two stocks (8.2). Each figure is drawn using a standalone snippet of code.
