Global Optimization by Differential Evolution in C++

An efficient C++ based implementation of the 'DEoptim' function which performs global optimization by differential evolution. Its creation was motivated by trying to see if the old approximation "easier, shorter, faster: pick any two" could in fact be extended to achieving all three goals while moving the code from plain old C to modern C++. The initial version did in fact do so, but a good part of the gain was due to an implicit code review which eliminated a few inefficiencies which have since been eliminated in 'DEoptim'.

Solving Ax = b Nimbly in C++

Routines for solving large systems of linear equations and eigenproblems in R. Direct and iterative solvers from the Eigen C++ library are made available. Solvers include Cholesky, LU, QR, and Krylov subspace methods (Conjugate Gradient, BiCGSTAB). Dense and sparse problems are supported.

R Interface to Google RE2 (C++) Regular Expression Library

Pattern matching, extraction, replacement and other string processing operations using Google's RE2 < https://github.com/google/re2> regular-expression engine. Consistent interface (similar to 'stringr'). RE2 uses finite-automata based techniques, and offers a fast and safe alternative to backtracking regular-expression engines like those used in 'stringr', 'stringi' and other PCRE implementations.

Interface to 'Lp_solve' v. 5.5 to Solve Linear/Integer Programs

Lp_solve is freely available (under LGPL 2) software for solving linear, integer and mixed integer programs. In this implementation we supply a "wrapper" function in C and some R functions that solve general linear/integer problems, assignment problems, and transportation problems. This version calls lp_solve version 5.5.

A Collection of Efficient and Extremely Fast R Functions

A collection of fast (utility) functions for data analysis. Column and row wise means, medians, variances, minimums, maximums, many t, F and G-square tests, many regressions (normal, logistic, Poisson), are some of the many fast functions.

'C++' Reimplementation of the 'ucminf' Unconstrained Nonlinear Optimizer

A modern 'C++17/ reimplementation of the 'UCMINF/ algorithm for unconstrained nonlinear optimization (Nielsen and Mortensen, 2011, ), offering full API compatibility with the original 'ucminf' R package but developed independently. The optimizer core has been rewritten in 'C' with a modern header-only 'C++17' interface, zero-allocation line search, and an 'Rcpp' interface. The goal is numerical equivalence with improved performance, reproducibility, and extensibility. Includes extensive test coverage, performance regression tests, and compatibility checks against 'ucminf'. This package is not affiliated with the original maintainers but acknowledges their authorship of the algorithm and the original R interface.

Automated C Code Generation for 'deSolve', 'bvpSolve'

Generates all necessary C functions allowing the user to work with the compiled-code interface of ode() and bvptwp(). The implementation supports "forcings" and "events". Also provides functions to symbolically compute Jacobians, sensitivity equations and adjoint sensitivities being the basis for sensitivity analysis.

Handle Missing Tensor Data with C++ Integration

To handle higher-order tensor data. See Kolda and Bader (2009) for details on tensor. While existing packages on tensor data extend the base 'array' class to some data classes, this package serves as an alternative resort to handle tensor only as 'array' class. Some functionalities related to missingness are also supported.

Check 'C' and 'C++' Files using 'Cppcheck'

Allow to run 'Cppcheck' (< https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/>) on 'C' and 'C++' files with a 'R' command or a 'RStudio' addin. The report appears in the 'RStudio' viewer pane as a formatted 'HTML' file. It is also possible to get this report with a 'shiny' application. 'Cppcheck' can spot many error types and it can also give some recommendations on the code.

Solvers for Initial Value Problems of Differential Equations ('ODE', 'DAE', 'DDE')

Functions that solve initial value problems of a system of first-order ordinary differential equations ('ODE'), of partial differential equations ('PDE'), of differential algebraic equations ('DAE'), and of delay differential equations. The functions provide an interface to the FORTRAN functions 'lsoda', 'lsodar', 'lsode', 'lsodes' of the 'ODEPACK' collection, to the FORTRAN functions 'dvode', 'zvode' and 'daspk' and a C-implementation of solvers of the 'Runge-Kutta' family with fixed or variable time steps. The package contains routines designed for solving 'ODEs' resulting from 1-D, 2-D and 3-D partial differential equations ('PDE') that have been converted to 'ODEs' by numerical differencing.
