Subset Resampling-Based Minimum Variance Portfolio

v1.0.0

Compute the asset weights of the subset resampling-based minimum variance portfolio, following the methodology described in the first and the second references, optionally subject to:

Minimum and maximum weights constraints
Maximum group weights constraints
Minimum and maximum portfolio exposure constraints
