CRAN Optimization swMATH ID: 8046 Software Authors: Stefan Theussl Description: CRAN Task View: Optimization and Mathematical Programming. This CRAN task view contains a list of packages which offer facilities for solving optimization problems. Although every regression model in statistics solves an optimization problem they are not part of this view. If you are looking for regression methods, the following views will contain useful starting points: Multivariate, SocialSciences, Robust among others. The focus of this task view is on Optimization Infrastructure Packages , General Purpose Continuous Solvers , Mathematical Programming Solvers and Specific Applications in Optimization . Packages are categorized in these three sections. Many packages provide functionality for more than one of the subjects listed at the end of this task view. E.g., mixed integer linear programming solvers typically offer standard linear programming routines like the simplex algorithm. Therefore following each package description a list of abbreviations describes the typical features of the optimizer (i.e., the problems which can be solved). The full names of the abbreviations given in square brackets can be found at the end of this task view under Classification According to Subject .
