Greg Snow a écrit : Just wrap the example in either \dontrun{} or if(interactive()){ } Thanks. Your solution gives me an other idea : try(myFunction) works as well. Christophe That way that example will be skipped when the automatic tests are done, but will still be available for a

[Rd] interior point methods, automatic differentiation in R

2009-02-18 Thread David Scherrer
Dear all, I'm wondering if there are some ongoing projects for interior point methods in R (e.g. linking ipopt from Coin written in C++ to R) and for automatic differentiation in R (e.g. linking openAD available in C++ and Fortran) ? Many thanks, David [[alternative HTML version

Regarding interior point methods, you can find a list of relevant packages in the Optimization and Mathematical Programming Task View at http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/CRAN/web/views/Optimization.html. But it doesn't look like there is anything like an interface to a comprehensive
