Coin-or binaries

I was looking for a fresh CBC.EXE for Windows. But looking at this, Windows is not really popular here:

  1. Yes, that is striking, since from my experience by far most commercial OR software users are windows users. I am unsure what you actually can do commercially with coin within the license terms.

  2. There is a build of a recent CoinAll for Windows, http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/CoinAll .
    That should include a recent cbc.exe too.

    Of course, this could be better documented.

  4. Depends on the actual distribution. The CDF of many distributions (Uniform, Normal, Gamma, Beta, Chi-Square, F, Student's t, Binomial) are easily calculated using built-in GAMS functions.

    Note: The best place to get free GAMS support is support@gams.com.

    'cause i always read your blog as part of the study on GAMS, sometimes i just write down a problem quickly without thinking if it is appropriate to ask here. Sorry for that!
