About

Maintained by Burak DilberFirst published 2026-05-161 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides tools for general-purpose continuous optimization and feed-forward artificial neural network training using metaheuristic and gradient-based optimization algorithms. The package supports benchmark function optimization, regression, binary classification, and multi-class classification with multilayer perceptrons. The package implements several optimization methods, including particle swarm optimization Kennedy and Eberhart (1995) doi:10.1109/ICNN.1995.488968, differential evolution Storn and Price (1997) doi:10.1023/A:1008202821328, grey wolf optimizer Mirjalili et al.

Install

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

install.packages("metANN", 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/metANN")

Development version from burakdilber/metANN. 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-metann

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

# 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-metANN

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-metANN

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