Quadratic Programming Solver using the 'OSQP' Library

Provides bindings to the 'OSQP' solver. The 'OSQP' solver is a numerical optimization package or solving convex quadratic programs written in 'C' and based on the alternating direction method of multipliers. See for details.

Optimally Robust Estimation

R infrastructure for optimally robust estimation in general smoothly parameterized models using S4 classes and methods as described Kohl, M., Ruckdeschel, P., and Rieder, H. (2010), , and in Rieder, H., Kohl, M., and Ruckdeschel, P. (2008), .

Infrastructure for Ordering Objects Using Seriation

Infrastructure for ordering objects with an implementation of several seriation/sequencing/ordination techniques to reorder matrices, dissimilarity matrices, and dendrograms. Also provides (optimally) reordered heatmaps, color images and clustering visualizations like dissimilarity plots, and visual assessment of cluster tendency plots (VAT and iVAT). Hahsler et al (2008) .

Tools for Modeling Bumblebee Colony Growth and Decline

Bumblebee colonies grow during worker production, then decline after switching to production of reproductive individuals (drones and gynes). This package provides tools for modeling and visualizing this pattern by identifying a switchpoint with a growth rate before and a decline rate after the switchpoint. The mathematical models fit by bumbl are described in Crone and Williams (2016) .

A Solver for 'ompr' that Uses the R Optimization Infrastructure ('ROI')

A solver for 'ompr' based on the R Optimization Infrastructure ('ROI'). The package makes all solvers in 'ROI' available to solve 'ompr' models. Please see the 'ompr' website < https://dirkschumacher.github.io/ompr/> and package docs for more information and examples on how to use it.

Parallel Bayesian Optimization of Hyperparameters

Fast, flexible framework for implementing Bayesian optimization of model hyperparameters according to the methods described in Snoek et al. . The package allows the user to run scoring function in parallel, save intermediary results, and tweak other aspects of the process to fully utilize the computing resources available to the user.

Highly Optimized Protocol Buffer Serializers

Pure C++ implementations for reading and writing several common data formats based on Google protocol-buffers. Currently supports 'rexp.proto' for serialized R objects, 'geobuf.proto' for binary geojson, and 'mvt.proto' for vector tiles. This package uses the auto-generated C++ code by protobuf-compiler, hence the entire serialization is optimized at compile time. The 'RProtoBuf' package on the other hand uses the protobuf runtime library to provide a general- purpose toolkit for reading and writing arbitrary protocol-buffer data in R.

Determining the Best Number of Clusters in a Data Set

It provides 30 indexes for determining the optimal number of clusters in a data set and offers the best clustering scheme from different results to the user.

Rmetrics - Portfolio Selection and Optimization

A collection of functions to optimize portfolios and to analyze them from different points of view.

Machine Learning in R

Interface to a large number of classification and regression techniques, including machine-readable parameter descriptions. There is also an experimental extension for survival analysis, clustering and general, example-specific cost-sensitive learning. Generic resampling, including cross-validation, bootstrapping and subsampling. Hyperparameter tuning with modern optimization techniques, for single- and multi-objective problems. Filter and wrapper methods for feature selection. Extension of basic learners with additional operations common in machine learning, also allowing for easy nested resampling. Most operations can be parallelized.
