Overview

About

Maintained by Telford TendysCRAN page ↗Website ↗

A group of sample points are evaluated against a user-defined expression, the sample points are lists of parameters with values that may be substituted into that expression. The genetic algorithm attempts to make the result of the expression as low as possible (usually this would be the sum of residuals squared).

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/gafit/gafit_0.5.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "gafit_0.5.1.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 (0.5.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
