Nelder–Mead downhill simplex procedure) and a pattern search approach, called SCE-PS, for unconstrained optimization. Pattern … search methods are derivative-free, meaning that they do not use explicit or approximate derivatives. Moreover, pattern … search algorithms are direct search methods well suitable for the global optimization of highly nonlinear, multiparameter …
