[rede.APPIA] New edition (2nd) of the Modern Optimization with R book (Springer)

Paulo Alexandre Ribeiro Cortez
Dear all,


The 2nd edition of the “Modern Optimization with R” Springer book has been recently released (254 pages):


The goal of this book is to gather in a single work the most relevant concepts related in optimization methods, showing how such theories and methods can be addressed using the open source, multi-platform R tool. Examples of popular modern methods discussed in this book are: simulated annealing; tabu search; genetic algorithms; differential evolution; and particle swarm optimization.
This new edition integrates the latest R packages through text and code examples. It also discusses new topics, such as: the impact of artificial intelligence and business analytics in modern optimization tasks; the creation of interactive Web applications; usage of parallel computing; and more modern optimization algorithms (e.g., iterated racing, ant colony optimization, grammatical evolution).
