fminsearch.function

A single column vector of parameter estimates.

An integer variable set to 2, indicating that only the cost
 function is to be computed by the algorithm.

index

An object of class 'optimbase.functionargs' and with 
 (at least) a <code>fun</code> element, which contains the user-defined cost 
 function.

fmsfundata

This function calls the cost function and makes it match neldermead
 requirements. It is used in the <code>fminsearch</code> function as the
 <code>function</code> element of the neldermead object (see <code>?neldermead</code>
 and <code>?neldermead.set</code>).

 method 

Provides several direct search optimization algorithms based on the
simplex method. The provided algorithms are direct search algorithms, i.e.
algorithms which do not use the derivative of the cost function. They are
based on the update of a simplex. The following algorithms are available: the
fixed shape simplex method of Spendley, Hext and Himsworth (unconstrained
optimization with a fixed shape simplex, 1962) <doi:10.1080/00401706.1962.10490033>,
the variable shape simplex method of Nelder and Mead (unconstrained optimization
with a variable shape simplex made, 1965) <doi:10.1093/comjnl/7.4.308>, and
Box's complex method (constrained optimization with a variable shape simplex,
1965) <doi: 10.1093/comjnl/8.1.42>.
