Portfolio Analysis

The Markowitz model is used for portfolio analysis computations. For a discussion of this model see Chapter 7 of:

[11] Bodie, Zvi, Alex Kane, and Alan J. Marcus, Investments, Burr Ridge, IL: Irwin. 2nd. ed., 1993, ISBN 0-256-08342-8.

To solve the quadratic minimization problem associated with finding the efficient frontier, the toolbox uses the fmincon function (finds the constrained minimum of a function of several variables) in the Optimization Toolbox documentation. See that toolbox documentation for more details.
