Package mcga updated to version 2.0.4 with previous version 2.0.2 dated 2011-10-17

Title: Machine coded genetic algorithms for real-valued optimization problems
Description: Machine coded genetic algorithm (MCGA) is a fast tool for real-valued optimization problems. It uses the byte representation of variables rather than real-values. It performs the classical crossover operations (uniform) on these byte representations. Mutation operator is also similar to classical mutation operator, which is to say, it changes a randomly selected byte value of a chromosome by +1 or -1 with probability 1/2. In MCGAs there is no need for encoding-decoding process and the classical operators are directly applicable on real-values. It is fast and can handle a wide range of a search space with high precision. Using a 256-unary alphabet is the main disadvantage of this algorithm but a moderate size population is convenient for many problems. Package also includes multi_mcga function for multi objective optimization problems. This function sorts the chromosomes using their ranks calculated from the non-dominated sorting algorithm.

Package AIGIS updated to version 1.0-1 with previous version 1.0 dated 2009-03-09

Title: Areal Interpolation for GIS data
Description: AIGIS can be used to interpolate spatially associated data onto arbitrary target polygons which lack such data. The package is primarily oriented toward convenient interpolation of specific US census data for California, as performed by Westerling and Bryant in "Climate Change and Wilfire in California" (2008, Climatic Change), though the tools provided should work for any combination of GIS data source and target polygons, provided appropriate care is taken. However, this framework was created prior to significant advancements in spatial analysis tools in R, and users may find more convenient overlay capabilities within sp or other current packages (for example, see the 'over' methods in package:sp).
