Introduction

This book is the implementation of OR Primer using R and relevant packages such as ompr as the AML and highs as the solver. Main objective is to give the reader the ropes of the fundamentals of OR programming and to get the reader build their own models easily in R.

This book is focused on implementation before the theory. You can regard excellent (upcoming) external resources on the topics to get higher intuition on theory.

Other R packages and software

Even though ompr is the main package that we interact with, solving LP and MILP problems are possible with the help of other packages and software.

highs is the R package of the main solver HiGHS. (see CRAN link)
ROI (R Optimization Infrastructure) is an infrastructure package to connect solvers with R counterparts. (see CRAN link)
ROI.plugin.highs is the ROI plugin to make ROI work with HiGHS. (see GitLab link)
ompr.roi is the bridge between ompr and ROI. (see CRAN link)
