OMPR: LP/MIP models in R

From https://github.com/dirkschumacher/ompr:

OMPR (Optimization Modelling Package in R) is a DSL to model and solve Mixed Integer Linear Programs. It is inspired by the excellent Jump project in Julia.

Here are some problems you could solve with this package:

  • What is the cost minimal way to visit a set of clients and return home afterwards?
  • What is the optimal conference time table subject to certain constraints (e.g. availability of a projector)?
  • If you run a radio station :) What is the optimal way to play music such that your users do not have to listen to the same songs too often?

The Wikipedia article gives a good starting point if you would like to learn more about the topic.

This is a beta version. Currently working towards a first stable version for CRAN. At the moment not recommended for production systems / important analyses. Although most obvious bugs should be gone. Happy to get bug reports or feedback.

Current version: 0.3.0

Looks interesting.
