Forum: NMOF 0.19-0 on R-Forge
Posted by: Enrico Schumann
Content: v0.19-0 (2011-09-26)o 'bracketing', 'gridSearch' and 'restartOpt' now support distributed evaluation of 'fun' via 'clusterApply' from the 'snow' package. As a side effect, the interface of 'gridSearch' and 'restartOpt' has changed: instead of an option 'multicore', they now have an argument 'method', which can be 'loop', 'multicore' or 'snow'. See the documentation of these functions. o for consistency, the 'method' argument of 'bracketing' expects 'vectorised' rather than 'vectorise' (but both work, and also the '-ize' spellings) o substantial revision of documentation/examples o more intelligible error/warning messages in 'bracketing' added o small changes in vignettes 'Robust Regression with Particle Swarm Optimisation and Differential Evolution' and 'Repairing solutions' o file 'multicore.R' was moved to subdirectory inst/unitTests; thus, it is installed with the package. Some tests for package 'snow' were added. o more tests added (subdirectory unitTests); in particular, tests are more comprehensively commented now v0.18-1 (2011-09-21) o fixed: 'restartOpt' with 'multicore = TRUE' did not correctly pass '...' arguments to 'fun' o fixed: typo in message issued by 'gridSearch' o new file 'multicore.R' added in subdirectory tests; it contains a number of timing tests to see if the 'multicore' option works. (The tests are not run when the package is built.) o minor updates in documentation |
