Overview

About

Maintained by Jakob BossekCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides generators for a high number of both single- and multi- objective test functions which are frequently used for the benchmarking of (numerical) optimization algorithms. Moreover, it offers a set of convenient functions to generate, plot and work with objective functions.

Changes in 1.7.0

New features

Added support for the extended bi-objective BBOB functions (FIDs 56-92) in makeBiObjBBOBFunction
Added extra helper functions to extract all problem instance-specific data from MPM2 generator
Added R-based evaluation environment for MPM2 generator which greatly accelerates evaluation in multi-objective settings
Added support for single- and multi-objective NK-landscapes
Sanity checks for smoof functions evaluations are now optional (you may set the option smoof.check_input_before_evaluation to FALSE in order to deactivate those checks). This can lead to significant speed ups when a function is evaluated many times

Bugfixes

Fixed bug in getLoggedValues when logging of x-values was set to FALSE in addLoggingWrapper
Fixed bug with instance ID mapping in makeBiObjBBOBFunction
Fixed some documentation issues

Install

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

install.packages("smoof", 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("jakobbossek/smoof")

Development version from jakobbossek/smoof. 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-smoof

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-smoof

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-smoof

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.
