Description: This package implements a state-of-the-art version of the
        Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) algorithm (SPSO-2011 and
        SPSO-2007 capable). hydroPSO can be used as a replacement of
        the 'optim' R function for (global) optimization of non-smooth
        and non-linear functions. However, the main focus of hydroPSO
        is the calibration of environmental and other real-world models
        that need to be executed from the system console. hydroPSO is
        model-independent, allowing the user to easily interface any
        model code with the calibration engine (PSO). It includes a
        series of PSO variants and controlling options to fine-tune the
        performance of the calibration engine to different calibration
        problems. An advanced sensitivity analysis function together
        with user-friendly plotting summaries facilitate the
        interpretation and assessment of the calibration results. Bugs
        reports/comments/questions are very welcomed.
