How do I find the nearest positive definite matrix to a correlation matrix?

Robert McCrory
Posted 12 years ago
Has anyone developed Mathematica code to find the nearest positive definite matrix to a proposed correlation matrix?  An investment consultant has published his proposed correlation matrix, but it is not positive definite, and cannot be used for modeling.  There are a number of solutions in R and MatLab on the Web.  Is there a solution in Mathematica?

Thanks.
