In trustOptim: Trust Region Optimization for Nonlinear Functions with Sparse Hessians

#' @title Trust-region optimization
#'
#' @description Nonlinear optimizers using trust regions, with methods
#'   optimized for sparse Hessians.
#'
#' @details
#' Trust region algorithm for nonlinear optimization. In addition to being more stable and robust than optim, this package includes methods that are scalable and efficient (in terms of both speed and memory usage) when the Hessian is sparse.
