I am looking for a function that, when supplied a vector of floats x, an integer n, and float s, would find me an n-subset of x with the sum closest to s. Can anyone point me to a package/function that can do the job - better yet, provide a relevant code sample? (There are a few relevant packages on CRAN, but lack of examples in their docs is a real problem).
