Thread-topic: Constrained Regression, Quadratic Programming
Hi Everyone,

I am a new user to Splus, and am trying to do the following:
Run a regression, where the coefficients constrained to be > 0 and also
forced to sum to 1.

estimate a model Y = beta_0 + beta_1 x_1 +....+beta_n x_n. 
beta_i >=0 for all i
Sum of beta's = 1

I have reviewed the previous solutions noted on the site that are
related:
- using the quadratic programming program solve.QP in package quadprog.
- using S+NuOpt

Unfortunately, I do not have access to either - is there any other
methods in the standard package of S-plus?

Many thanks for your help with this,
Wingee.
