Hi, a function 'optim_problems' has been submitted to the optim package, returning test problems for optimization. As yet it's a skeleton with a few examples for curve fitting.
I think there is a need for such a repository of tests for assessing and comparing optimizers. TODO: 1. Really "difficult" problems, preferably with literature references. 2. General minimization and zero finding. 3. Good tests for constraints, linear and non-linear, equality and inequality, multiple constraints. Feel free to add tests. Also, I would be grateful for pointers to known test problems.
