DEoptim

Differential evolution in R

DEoptim (Ardia et al., 20xx) implements the Differential Evolution algorithm for global optimization of a real-valued function of a real-valued parameter vector. The implementation of Differential Evolution in DEoptim interfaces with C code for efficiency. Moreover, the package is self-contained and does not depend on any other packages.

The latest stable version of DEoptim is available at 'https://cran.r-project.org/package=DEoptim'.

The latest development version of DEoptim is available at 'https://github.com/ArdiaD/DEoptim'.
