BB: An R Package for Solving a Large System of Nonlinear Equations and for Optimizing a High-Dimensional Nonlinear Objective Function

We discuss <code>R</code> package <b>BB</b>, in particular, its capabilities for solving a nonlinear system of equations. The function <code>BBsolve</code> in <b>BB</b> can be used for this purpose. We demonstrate the utility of these functions for so...
