Version 1.4 of the tsinvest program is available on the ntropix web site at http://www.johncon.com/ntropix/. To be consistent with the "Mathematical Analysis & Numerical Methods" section of the program's home page, an option was added to instruct the program to assemble the portfolio with minimum risk, instead of optimally, (e.g., simultaneously maximizing portfolio gain while at the same time minimizing risk.) The -a option now requires arguments. There were no other code or documentation changes. Additionally, the ndustrix fractal utility programs, at http://www.johncon.com/ndustrix/, have a new utility program, tskalman, which will linear Kalman filter an economic time series, (which is the way the tsinvest program works-by using a Kalman filter to produce a running average of the marginal increments, avg; it can be shown that this method produces the fastest convergence, with the minimum error do to data set size, possible.) There were no other code or documentation changes. John -- John Conover, john@email.johncon.com, http://www.johncon.com/
