\title{
Reading the 'BestParameterSet.txt' output file
}
\description{
This function reads the contents of the the \sQuote{BestParameterSet.txt} output file, which stores the best parameter set and its corresponding goodness-of-fit value found during the optimisation
}
\usage{
read_best(file="BestParameterSet.txt", verbose=TRUE)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{file}{
character, name (including path) of the output file with the best parameter set  and its corresponding best fitness value found during the optimisation
}
  \item{verbose}{
logical, if TRUE, progress messages are printed
}
