Hi, 

I'm Pina and I'm a student in geology. I'm working with spectral profile of
sand and I have to find the similarity between one spectral profile selected
by hyperspectral image anche one that I created to mix different percentage
of 4 mineral component. I have to find the best mix of percentage of this 4
mineral in order to have the best likeness with the spectral profile chose
by hyperspectral image. Untill now I worked with excel using the function
equation solver to find the best fit but I 'd like to know if is possible do
this operation working in R. 
Thanks for the attention. 
I'm looking forward to hearing from you. 

Regards. 

Pina.

It looks like you need something that can do optimization.
R provides optim() and nlminb().

A similar question was posted several days ago.
See  http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Optimization-in-R-similar-to-MS-Excel-Solver-td4646759.html

You might have some use for package limSolve and function lsei.

Also see the CRAN Optimization Task View (http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Optimization.html)
