Simplex procedure

Home and Applets > Simplex Procedure

The simplex procedure is described by J. A. Nelder and R. Mead in the paper:

A simple method for function minimization, The Computer Journal 7, 308-313 (1965).

It is a nonlinear regression method which requires only the evaluation of the function. No derivatives have to be computed.

The following software books describe the Simplex procedure in details:
