So I am now a full time math programming consultant... I will try to post my (technical) notes here. Keeping a searchable list of them will make this useful for me in my daily life.

Coin-or binaries
I was looking for a fresh CBC.EXE for Windows. But looking at this, Windows is not really popular here:
Yes, that is striking, since from my experience by far most commercial OR software users are windows users. I am unsure what you actually can do commercially with coin within the license terms.
Hi, Erwin, a quick note to ask for your advice! do you know any function in GAMS that can denotes the prob.distribution function of a random number? I only know errorf() is for cdf.....
Depends on the actual distribution. The CDF of many distributions (Uniform, Normal, Gamma, Beta, Chi-Square, F, Student's t, Binomial) are easily calculated using built-in GAMS functions.
Note: The best place to get free GAMS support is support@gams.com.
thanks =) 'cause i always read your blog as part of the study on GAMS, sometimes i just write down a problem quickly without thinking if it is appropriate to ask here. Sorry for that!

ReplyDeleteThere is a build of a recent CoinAll for Windows, http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/CoinAll .
ReplyDeleteThat should include a recent cbc.exe too.
Of course, this could be better documented.
Thanks. Yes that looks much better!
