Packages suggested by 'CTVsuggest'

[hwborchers]

I tried out the 'CTVsuggest' package, as requested by Achim Zeileis. For the Optimization task view, it suggested the following packages:

CTVsuggest(taskview = "Optimization", n = 40)

When I remove all the ROI plugins (because we point to the ROI homepage anyway), the following 20 packages remain.

highs                   0.9999998      optextras    0.9954583
fastclime               0.9999221      eaf          0.9927544
rminqa                  0.9998350      RMPSH        0.9869198
optimbase               0.9996895      cgam         0.9857177
modopt.matlab           0.9996299      DoubleCone   0.9854492
CEGO                    0.9995787      miesmuschel  0.9854155
portfolio.optimization  0.9994327      GADAG        0.9812936
holiglm                 0.9989668      nlmrt        0.9733481
scaRabee                0.9987568      GPGame       0.9700840
mlr3mbo                 0.9972446      scdensity    0.9677140

I don't want to blow up the task view, but I think we have to check these packages. Most of them don't seem to be relevant for the task view, but there may be one or two pearls here. Can each of us go through this list and propose those packages that he thinks should be added?

On the other hand, the algorithm does not find (except 'highs' and 'fastclime') the packages I have on my list for checking for inclusion or rejection, namely:

• gMOIP and fastclime are useful for plotting polytopes
• optisolve
• FuzzyLP
• goalp
• graDiEnt
• highs: 'HiGHS' optimization solver for solving mixed integer optimization problems
• CGNM: Cluster Gauss-Newton Method
• gena: Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization
• ao
• bgw: Bunch-Gay-Welsch statistical estimation
• EmiR: Evolutionary Minimizer for R
• optimization: Flexible Optimization of Complex Loss Functions with State and Parameter Space Constraints
• optimizeR: Unified Framework for Numerical Optimizer

I have written to Dylan Dijk asking for the reason. He promised to look at the problem more closely.

I did a rerun of the CTVsuggest and found the following packages,

• [ ] "GADAG"
• [ ] "optextras"
• [ ] "Rtnmin"
• [ ] "RcppLbfgsBlaze"
