Overview

About

Maintained by Leslie Perez7 releasesCRAN page ↗

Implementation of some racing methods for the empirical selection of the best. If the R package `rpvm' is installed (and if PVM is available, properly configured, and initialized), the evaluation of the candidates are performed in parallel on different hosts.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/race/race_0.1.59.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "race_0.1.59.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 (0.1.59) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
