============
The R package geotopOtim2 is a plugin for the automatic calibration and sensitivity analisis of GEOtop 2.x hydrological model, based on the "Particle Swarm Optimisation" approach and the LHOAT "Latin-Hypercube One-factor-At-a-Time approach.
The package is a wrapper for GEOtop of the R package:
hydroPSO "Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimisation algorithm", wich has been updated to support MPI https://gitlab.inf.unibz.it/Samuel.Senoner/hydroPSO
To install this package on R fram R console:
From R console:
>library(devtools)
>install_github("ecor/geotopbricks")
>install.packages("hydroGOF")
>install.packages("hydroPSO")
In alternative, if you need to run the optimization on MPI over HPC cluster you need to install this modified version of hydroPSO
>install_git("https://gitlab.inf.unibz.it/Samuel.Senoner/hydroPSO")
Then, finally:
>install_github("EURAC-Ecohydro/geotopOptim2")
>install.packages("Rmpi")
>install.packages("snow")
