rcoco - R package for COCO and BBOB

CRAN Status Badge CRAN Downloads CRAN Downloads Build Status

This is an experimental implementation of an R client package for the COCO framework and the BBOB benchmark.

It allows benchmarking of continuous black-box optimizers on the BBOB functions. You can later run COCO post-processing for standardized evaluation and visualization. The package implements the C API of COCO.

Installation

The package is not yet released on CRAN. Install the development version via:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("berndbischl/rcoco")

How to get (newer versions of) coco.c and coco.h

These two files contain the main C code of coco, that we programm against. The package already contains a version of these files. They are located in the "src" subfolder of the R package. However, if you want to use a the current up-to-date version perform the following steps:

  1. Clone this repository or download the source files from CRAN. Say it is located in path_to_rcoco
  2. Clone the main coco repository
  3. Navigate into the cloned coco repository via cd coco
  4. Run python do.py build-c from the console
  5. Copy coco.{h,c} from code-experiments/build/c/ to the path_to_rcoco/src subfolder of this repository and overwrite the existing files
  6. Install rcoco from source
