Alternating Optimization R package ao version 1.2.3 CRAN Task View: Optimization (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Optimization) Implementation of an iterative process that optimizes a function by alternately performing restricted optimization over parameter subsets. Instead of solving one joint optimization problem, alternating optimization breaks it into smaller sub-problems. This approach can make optimization feasible when joint optimization is too difficult.
