Title: Model-Independent Particle Swarm Optimisation for Environmental
Author: Mauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini [aut, cre] and Rodrigo Rojas [ctb]
Description: This package implements a state-of-the-art version of the
Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) algorithm, with a special
focus on the calibration of environmental models. hydroPSO is
model-independent, allowing the user to easily interface any
model code with the calibration engine (PSO). hydroPSO includes
a series of controlling options and PSO variants to fine-tune
the performance of the calibration engine. An advanced
sensitivity analysis function together with user-friendly
plotting summaries facilitate the interpretation and assessment
of the calibration results. Bugs reports/comments/questions are

Title: Particle Swarm Optimisation, with focus on Environmental Models
Author: Mauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini [aut, cre], Rodrigo Rojas [ctb]
Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) algorithm (SPSO-2011 and
SPSO-2007 capable). hydroPSO can be used as a replacement of
the 'optim' R function for (global) optimization of non-smooth
and non-linear functions. However, the main focus of hydroPSO
is the calibration of environmental and other real-world models
that need to be executed from the system console. hydroPSO is
model code with the calibration engine (PSO). It includes a
series of PSO variants and controlling options to fine-tune the
performance of the calibration engine to different calibration
problems. An advanced sensitivity analysis function together
with user-friendly plotting summaries facilitate the
interpretation and assessment of the calibration results. Bugs
