How to set up linear programming optimization in R using LpSolve?

Question

For example, I have data from this sample:

d=data.frame(x=c(1,1,1,2,2,3,4,4),y=c(5,6,7,8,7,5,6,5),w=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8))

Which looks like this:

  x y w
1 1 5 1
2 1 6 2
3 1 7 3
4 2 8 4
5 2 7 5
6 3 5 6
7 4 6 7
8 4 5 8

xand yrepresent indices from dataxand datay. wrepresents an estimate from a comparison datax[x]with datay[y]. I want to maximize the total score (or w) from d, where each value xcorresponds to no more than one value yand vice versa.

The result should look like this:

  x y w
1 2 7 5
2 3 5 6
3 4 6 7

If the sum of all values ​​is wmaximized, and each xand everyone are ydisplayed only once as a result.

How to fix this problem in a function lpSolve::lp?
