Abstract

Previous chapters have approached demonstrative optimization tasks that were synthetically generated. The intention was to present a tutorial perspective and thus more simpler tasks were approached. As a complement, this chapter addresses real-world applications, where the data available is taken from a physical phenomena. Exemplifying the optimization of real-world data in R is interesting for two main reasons. First, physical phenomena may contain surprising or unknown features.
