Hi,

I am currently working on statistical problems that imply to optimize a likelihood function. Given the structure of the function and the size of the data, optimization takes a very long time.

I was wondering if there were a parallel version of the optim() R function or programmed parallel routine for optimization problems, but I didn't find any.

Does anybody know if there exists a package for parallel optimization ?

Thanks,

Maxime
