Overview

About

Maintained by Thomas Bartz-Beielstein9 releasesCRAN page ↗

Implements additional models, simulation tools, and interfaces as extensions to 'SPOT'. It provides tools for hyperparameter tuning via 'keras/tensorflow', interfacing 'mlr', for performing Markov chain simulations, and for sensitivity analysis based on sequential bifurcation methods as described in Bettonvil and Kleijnen (1996). Furthermore, additional plotting functions for output from 'SPOT' runs are implemented. Bartz-Beielstein T, Lasarczyk C W G, Preuss M (2005) doi:10.1109/CEC.2005.1554761.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/SPOTMisc/SPOTMisc_1.19.52.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "SPOTMisc_1.19.52.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.19.52) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

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-spotmisc

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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

# 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-SPOTMisc

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
