[R] Optimization problem: selecting independent rows to maximizethe mean

2006-03-06 Thread Jasjeet S. Sekhon
Does R have packages for such multi-objectives optimization problems ? The rgenoud (R-GENetic Optimization Using Derivatives) package allows for multiple object optimization problems. See the lexical option which searches for the Pareto front. The package is written for NP-hard problems (but

Regarding multi-object optimization, I just got 0 hits from RSiteSearch(multi-objective optimization) and RSiteSearch(multiobjective optimization). However, it shouldn't be too difficult to write a wrapper function to blend other functions however you would like, then use optim or
