The @code{nmsimplex2} version of this minimiser is a new @math{O(N)} implementation of the earlier @math{O(N^2)} @code{nmsimplex} -minimiser. It calculates the size of simplex as the @sc{rms} distance +minimiser. The minimisation algorithm is the same, but the improved +code makes @code{nmsimplex2} more efficient for large dimension +problems. It calculates the size of simplex as the @sc{rms} distance of each vertex from the center rather than the mean distance, which has the advantage of allowing a linear update. @end deffn -- 1.5.6.5
