In SPOT: Sequential Parameter Optimization Toolbox

# Package Description for Roxygen:
#' Sequential Parameter Optimization Toolbox
#'
#' SPOT uses a combination statistic models and optimization algorithms 
#' for the purpose of parameter optimization. Design of Experiment methods
#' are employed to generate an initial set of candidate solutions, which
#' are evaluated with a user-provided objective function.
#' The resulting data is used to fit a model, which in turn is subject
#' to an optimization algorithm, to find the most promising candidate solution(s).
#' These are again evaluated, after which the model is updated with the new results.
#' This sequential procedure of modeling, optimization, and evaluation is iterated
#' until the evaluation budget is exhausted.
