Re: [R] Fast Two-Dimensional Optimization
Dear Dave, Thank you for your recommendation. I looked over the website of AD Model Builder for fast optimization. I want to ask you whether the software can be used in R programming as a kind of R package? Or is there any possibility that it can be jointly used with R packages? Regards, Wonsang 2010/11/25 dave fournier da...@otter-rsch.com Hi, You should be able to get the performance you want with AD Model Builder which is free software available at http://admb-project.org I can advise you if you are interested.

Re: [R] Fast Two-Dimensional Optimization
Thank you for your kind comments. I tried different algorithms such as BFGS, CG, and so on. However, the choice of algorithms was not effective on reducing computation time. Instead, your second suggestion of coding the gradient of minimization function was a little bit successful to reduce computation time. It was twice faster than before. I appreciate you for your help. 2010/11/22 Rubén Roa r...@azti.es Did you try different algorithms? optim has Nelder-Mead (default), BFGS, simulated annealing, CG, etc. Depending on your problem, they can be much faster than the default. See ?optim and check the info for 'method' Check also optimx, a new wrapper for optim that can try out all methods. Another approach that may speed up calculations is to code for the gradients of the function that you're minimizing. Check argument 'gr' of optimx.

The answer depends on the characteristics of your objective function. You may be able to quadruple the speed of your optimization by coding your objective function more efficiently in R or by re-coding it in C or C++. You may be able to choose better starting conditions. You may be able to pick an optimization method that is more suitable for your objective function (see ?optim and the optimx package on r-forge).
