I he Mrkowiz model, risk is sed i erms of he prediced vrice of porfolio reur, fucio h is qudric i he decisio vribles. All oher fucios d cosris re ssumed o be lier (Shrpe, 97). he obecive of he model is o form he efficie porfolios. Corry o is heoreicl repuio, i hs o bee used eesively. he wo impor resos why Mrkowiz s model hs o bee implemeed c be summrized s follows (Elo, Gruber, Pdberg, 976; Koo d Ymzki, 99): (i) he difficuly i esimig he correlio mrices, (ii) he compuiol difficuly of he qudric progrmmig model. Shrpe (97) climed h if he essece of porfolio lysis problem could be dequely cpured i form suible for lier progrmmig mehods, he prospec for prcicl pplicio would be grely ehced. Shrpe (97) d Soe (973) ried o cover he porfolio problem io lier progrmmig model.

I is lso rgued h s he umber of sses decreses, he rscio coss of he porfolio will lso decrese. he MAD porfolio opimizio model hs 2+2 rows where is he umber of periods. Feisei d hp (993) reformuled he MAD porfolio opimizio model so h he umber of rows decresed o +2, which implies h he mimum umber of socks ivesed i decreses from 2+2 o +2.
