Overview

About

Maintained by Burak DilberCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Provides an implementation of Secretary Bird Optimization for general-purpose continuous optimization, benchmark optimization, and training single-hidden-layer feed-forward neural network models. The implemented optimizer is based on the Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm proposed by Fu et al. (2024) doi:10.1007/s10462-024-10729-y. The neural network training functionality is based on Dilber and Özdemir (2026) doi:10.1007/s00521-026-11874-x.

Changes in 0.1.1

New features

Added 23 built-in benchmark functions, named F1 to F23, for continuous optimization problems.
Added list_benchmarks() to display available benchmark functions and their metadata.
Added get_benchmark() to retrieve benchmark definitions, bounds, dimensions, categories, and labels.

Improvements

Updated sboa() so that built-in benchmark names, such as "F1", can be supplied directly as the objective function.
Added benchmark metadata, including labels, categories, lower and upper bounds, and fixed dimensions where applicable.
Improved usability for benchmark-based experiments by allowing users to access standard test functions without manually defining objective functions.

Compatibility

Preserved compatibility with user-defined objective functions.
Preserved compatibility with sboa_mlp().
Existing workflows based on sboa() and sboa_mlp() remain unchanged.

Install

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

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

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("burakdilber/SBOAtools")

Development version from burakdilber/SBOAtools. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-sboatools

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-SBOAtools

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-SBOAtools

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.
