Reimplementation of NelderMead using https://www.scilab.org/sites/default/files/neldermead.pdf as the source for the algorithm. (This matches https://se.mathworks.com/help/matlab/math/optimizing-nonlinear-functions.html#bsgpq6p-11 for the default parameters).

The existing algorithm did differ quite a lot from the original. (#950)

This is my first PR here, I am always happy about comments. The original algorithm differed from the NelderMead descriptions I found, the main changes should be:

  • No direct changes of the simplex, the new vertex is only accepted as described in the algorithm
  • Only calculating the centroid once
  • Fixed the scaling parameters
  • Added the 'outside contraction' part

I'm afraid I'm not a maintainer. Check with @cdrnet

@BarkenBark Me too, but it seems there is no real response here. :(
