Overview

About

Maintained by Lorenzo SosteroCRAN page ↗

A C++ implementation of the following evolutionary algorithms: Bat Algorithm (Yang, 2010 doi:10.1007/978-3-642-12538-6_6), Cuckoo Search (Yang, 2009 doi:10.1109/nabic.2009.5393690), Genetic Algorithms (Holland, 1992, ISBN:978-0262581110), Gravitational Search Algorithm (Rashedi et al., 2009 doi:10.1016/j.ins.2009.03.004), Grey Wolf Optimization (Mirjalili et al., 2014 doi:10.1016/j.advengsoft.2013.12.007), Harmony Search (Geem et al., 2001 doi:10.1177/003754970107600201), Improved Harmony Search (Mahdavi et al., 2007 doi:10.1016/j.amc.2006.11.033), Moth-flame Optimization (Mirjalili, 2015 doi:10.1016/j.knosys.2015.07.006), Particle Swarm Optimization (Kennedy et al., 2001 ISBN:1558605959), Simulated Annealing (Kirkpatrick et al., 1983 doi:10.1126/science.220.4598.671), Whale Optimization Algorithm (Mirjalili and Lewis, 2016 doi:10.1016/j.advengsoft.2016.01.008). 'EmiR' can be used not only for unconstrained optimization problems, but also in presence of inequality constrains, and variables restricted to be integers.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("EmiR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-emir

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-EmiR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-EmiR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
