SimplexAlgorithm-class: Class "SimplexAlgorithm"

Description

The Class "SimplexAlgorithm" implements the Nelder-Mead method (also downhill simplex method, amoeba method) [1].

Arguments

Objects from the class

Objects form the class SimplexAlgorithm can be created by calls of the form SimplexAlgorithm(...) where (...) are the parameters for the SimplexAlgorithm objects.
