Summary
Summary
The goal of this book is to gather in a single document the most relevant concepts related to modern optimization methods or metaheuristics (e.g., simulated annealing; tabu search; genetic algorithms; differential evolution; and particle swarm optimization), showing how such concepts and methods can be addressed using the open source R tool.
This new edition integrates the latest R packages through text and code examples. It also discusses new topics, such as: the impact of artificial intelligence and business analytics in modern optimization tasks; the creation of interactive Web applications; usage of parallel computing; and more modern optimization algorithms (e.g., iterated racing, ant colony optimization, grammatical evolution).
