Upon failure, start values are randomly perturbed. Currently only
the uniform distribution is implemented. The distribution is
parameterized by arguments location and scale. The
location parameter is the distribution's median. For the uniform
distribution, scale is the absolute difference between its
median and extrema (i.e., half the width of the rectangle). Each
start value is multiplied by a random draw and then added to a
random draw from a distribution with the same scale but
with a median of zero.
