Defective pointer to tech report (PR#634)
Full_Name: Rod Montgomery Version: 1.1.0 OS: Windows-95 Submission from: (NULL) (38.26.56.3) File R-1.1.0/src/appl/lbfgsb.c -- Comment in code says two papers describing underlying math are in ftp://ece.nwu.edu/pub/lbfgs/lbfgs_bcm/ but that directory seems not to exist. (Actually, the comment does not give a URL - it just says to look in that directory on that FTP server.) Paper [1] does exist in ftp://ece.nwu.e...

Package inclusion in R core implementation
...shing for some time for their deprecation. They aren't "bad", but we have better tools, and they are in CRAN packages. Similarly, I believe other optimization tools in the core (optim::L-BFGS-B, nlm, nlminb) can and should be moved to packages (there are already 2 versions at least of LBFGS that I and Matt Fidler are merging). And optim::SANN does not match any usual expectations of users. I'm sure there are other tools for other tasks that can and should move to packages to streamline the work of our core team. However, I can understand that there is this awkward issue of actual...

Package inclusion in R core implementation
Hi, It sometimes happens that some packages get included to R like for example the parallel package. I was wondering if there is a process to decide whether or not to include a package in the core implementation of R? For example, why not include the Rcpp package, which became for a lot of user the main tool to extend R? What is our view on the (not so well known) dotCall64 package which is an

optim(…, method=‘L-BFGS-B’) stops with an error message while violating the lower bound
Hi, Mark et al.: Thanks, Mark. Three comments: 1. Rvmmin was one of the methods I tried after Ravi directed me to optimx. It returned NAs for essentially everything. See my email of this subject stamped 4:43 PM Central time = 21:43 UTC. 2. It would be interesting to know if the current algorithm behind optim and optimx with
