Re: [R] Fast Two-Dimensional Optimization

Dear Dave, Thank you for your recommendation. I looked over the website of AD Model Builder for fast optimization. I want to ask you whether the software can be used in R programming as a kind of R package? Or is there any possibility that it can be jointly used with R packages? Regards, Wonsang

Thank you for your kind comments. I tried different algorithms such as BFGS, CG, and so on. However, the choice of algorithms was not effective on reducing computation time. Instead, your second suggestion of coding the gradient of minimization function was a little bit successful to reduce comput
