/**
 * SIMPLEX is a function minimization method using the simplex method of Nelder and
 * Mead. MnSimplex provides minimization of the function by the method of SIMPLEX
 * and the functionality for parameters interaction. It also retains the result from the
 * last minimization in case the user may want to do subsequent minimization steps with
 * parameter interactions in between the minimization requests. As SIMPLEX is a
 * stepping method it does not produce a covariance matrix.
