Description
nloptr is an R interface to NLopt. NLopt is a
free/open-source library for nonlinear optimization, providing
a common interface for a number of different free optimization
routines available online as well as original implementations
of various other algorithms. See
http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/NLopt_Introduction for
more information on the available algorithms. During
installation on Unix the NLopt code is downloaded and compiled
from the NLopt website.
