## S3 method for class 'DEoptim'
plot(x, plot.type = c("bestmemit", "bestvalit", "storepop"), ...)| object | an object of class  | 
| x | an object of class  | 
| plot.type | should we plot the best member at each iteration, the best value at each iteration or the intermediate populations? | 
| ... | further arguments passed to or from other methods. | 
Members of the class DEoptim have a plot method that
accepts the argument plot.type. plot.type = "bestmemit" results
in a plot of the parameter values that represent the lowest value of the objective function
each generation. plot.type = "bestvalit" plots the best value of
the objective function each generation. Finally, plot.type = "storepop" results in a plot of
stored populations (which are only available if these have been saved by
setting the control argument of DEoptim appropriately). Storing intermediate populations 
allows us to examine the progress of the optimization in detail.   
A summary method also exists and returns the best parameter vector, the best value of the objective function,
the number of generations optimization ran, and the number of times the 
objective function was evaluated. 
Further details and examples of the R package DEoptim can be found
in Mullen et al. (2011) and Ardia et al. (2011a, 2011b) or look at the 
package's vignette by typing vignette("DEoptim").
