Parallel Derivative Free Moment Optimization in R
This is a package intended for people who want to estimate a model based on some distance criteria. The library is built around the square minimization of the distance between a set of moments. The value of the objective function as well as the value of the moments at each evaluations are stored for later analysis.
The parallelisation overhead is relatively costly, and so I would not recommend using this library if solving your model for a parameter set is under 1 second. My experience has been that a solving time of around 30 seconds is a good place to start.
