Dear All!

Is there any code to find a constrained correlation matrix closest in some sense (preferably in the sense of the geometric approximation) to a given correlation matrix? By constrained I mean with some elements constrained, or, simply, set to zero. I have read in a paper that says this can be accomplished with Lagrange multipliers and an optimization routine.

Thanks a lot!
