There's a CRAN Task View on optimization. There might be something useful there.

Nowadays, I have a series of morphological data that I would like to test against different models for which I would need to optimize them -namely, "randomly manipulating" all models parameters in order to find the model that fit best upon my data. I've been told that the function "optim" is THE function for me, but I've been having problems to program it and set all constraints. Is there anything you could help me (guide me) with? I've asked already several "experts" in the internet but noone gave me a real solution.
