Optimization in R similar to MS Excel Solver

Dear Berend and Thomas,
thank you for suggesting the lsei function. I found that the tlsce {BCE}
function also works very well:
library("BCE")
tlsce(A=bmat,B=target)
The limSolve package has an 'xsample' function for generating uncertainty
values via Monte-Carlo simulation, however it only works when specifying the
standard deviation on the target data (B). In my situation I have standard
deviations for the source areas (A) only. Therefore I need to generate the
uncertainty values manually.
I've created a matrix of 1000 randonly distributed numbers for each of the
source area (A) properties:
TSCa<-matrix(rnorm(1000, mean=0.03, sd=0.005),ncol=1)
TSMg<-matrix(rnorm(1000, mean=0.0073, sd=0.002),ncol=1)
CBCa<-matrix(rnorm(1000, mean=0.6, sd=0.1),ncol=1)
CBMg<-matrix(rnorm(1000, mean=0.0102, sd=0.005),ncol=1)
RCa<-matrix(rnorm(1000, mean=0.2, sd=0.05),ncol=1)
RMg<-matrix(rnorm(1000, mean=0.0141, sd=0.005),ncol=1)
DCa<-matrix(rnorm(1000, mean=0.35, sd=0.1),ncol=1)
DMg<-matrix(rnorm(1000, mean=0.012, sd=0.004),ncol=1)
DistAll<-cbind(TSCa,TSMg,CBCa,CBMg,RCa,RMg,DCa,DMg)
colnames(DistAll)<-c("TopSoilCa","TopSoilMg","ChannelBankCa","ChannelBankMg","RoadCa","RoadMg","DrainCa","DrainMg")
I now want to run the lsei model again:
lsei(A=bmat,B=target,E=matrix(rep(1,4),ncol=4),F=1,G=matrix(rep(1,4),ncol=4),H=0,
fulloutput=TRUE))
Actually the G and H arguments are wrong. They should be G=diag(1,4) H=rep(0,4) since the weights should be >= 0
but with A=bmat replaced by the appropriate random values in DistAll. I assume I could then use the function "replicate" to then run the model 1000 times to generate uncertainty values, e.g. replicate(n=1000,lsei(A=bmat,B=target,E=matrix(rep(1,4),ncol=4),F=1,G=matrix(rep(1,4),ncol=4),H=0, fulloutput=TRUE)) Would anyone be able to help me write a function to replace bmat with new values from DistAll each time the lsei model is run?
Maybe this will do what you need
Nrep <- 10 # fors testing
I think this is what you need
### start code
kRow <- 1
bmat <- matrix(DistAll[kRow,],ncol=4,byrow=FALSE)
bmat
target <- c("Ca in river(%)"=0.33,"Mg in river (%)"=0.0114)
target
lsei(A=bmat,B=target,E=matrix(rep(1,4),ncol=4),F=1,G=diag(1,4),H=rep(0,4),fulloutput=TRUE)
gen.single <- function(k,Distall,target) {
bmat <- matrix(DistAll[k,],ncol=4,byrow=FALSE)
z <- lsei(A=bmat,B=target,E=matrix(rep(1,4),ncol=4),F=1,G=diag(1,4),H=rep(0,4),fulloutput=TRUE)
# insert tests of output of lsei to see if all is ok etc.
z$X # weights
}
set.seed(2001)
t(sapply(1:Nrep, FUN=gen.single,Distall=Distall,target=target))
### end of code
And now you can do whatever you wish with the columns of the output matrix
