Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Based on the Markowitz mean variance model, this paper discusses the portfolio selection problem in an uncertain environment. To construct a more realistic and optimized model, in this paper, a new general interval quadratic programming model for portfolio selection is established by introducing the linear transaction costs and liquidity of the securities market. Regarding the estimation for the new model, we propose an effective numerical solution method based on the Lagrange theorem and duality theory, which can obtain the effective upper and lower bounds of the objective function of the model. In addition, the proposed method is illustrated with two examples, and the results show that the proposed method is better and more feasible than the commonly used portfolio selection method.
