There is also the OptimizeR project on R-forge http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=395. Other related projects are there also, but I'll let their authors speak for themselves. Stefan Theussl did a good job in the Task View, but it is from last June, and it would be a monumental effort to

Hello R folks, I'm hoping the answer to the question in the subject line. I have in the past used SAS PROC NLIN and PROC NLP to carry out nonlinear optimizations. I'm wondering if there is analogous ways for doing this using R. If so, could someone please point me to some literature that would
