Abstract

RFreak is an R package providing a framework for evolutionary computation. By enwrapping the functionality of an evolutionary algorithm kit written in Java, it offers an easy way to do evolutionary computation in R. In addition, application examples where an evolutionary approach is promising in computational statistics are included and described in this paper. The package is thus further supporting the use of evolutionary computation in computational statistics.
