QuantToolbox (Python)

Python port of the MATLAB QuantToolbox library: econometrics, portfolio optimization / risk budgeting, distribution utilities, and backtesting tools.

This is a from-scratch redesign, not a line-by-line transliteration. The original MATLAB code relied on:

  • a hand-built "GAUSS-style" primitive layer (rows, cols, sumc, packr, selif, seqa, lag1, ...) — replaced here with native NumPy / pandas operations.
  • global variables for solver configuration (ADMM/CCD tolerances, iteration limits, MVO problem state) — replaced here with explicit config dataclasses passed into functions/classes.
  • many near-duplicate solver variants (e.g. ~40 files implementing risk budgeting under different constraint/algorithm combinations) — consolidated here into single classes parameterized by method= / constraints=.

See docs/migration_map.md for the file-by-file mapping from the original MATLAB source to this package, including specific translation notes.

Status

Scaffold stage — module structure and public APIs are being ported incrementally from the MATLAB source. See docs/migration_map.md for per-module progress.
