title: 'libcmaesr: R Interface to ''libcmaes'''
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.libcmaesr
abstract: A lightweight interface to the 'libcmaes' C++ library for the Covariance
  Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES). CMA-ES is a state-of-the-art evolutionary
  algorithm for the optimization of difficult non-linear, non-convex black-box functions,
  as described in Hansen and Ostermeier (2001) <https://doi.org/10.1162/106365601750190398>.
  Supports the active, separable, and VD (diagonal plus rank-one covariance) variants
  of the algorithm as well as the IPOP (increasing population size) and BIPOP (bi-population)
  restart strategies. A patched copy of 'libcmaes' (LGPL >= 3) is bundled; see the
  COPYRIGHTS file for details.
