SIMPLEX, Minimisation by Simplex Method

The SIMPLEX command minimises the penalty function by the simplex method:

SIMPLEX,CALLS=integer,TOLERANCE=real;
The user is referred to the MINUIT manual for explanations. The command has two attributes:
CALLS The maximum number of calls to the penalty function (default: 1000).
TOLERANCE The desired tolerance for the minimum (default: \(10^{-6}\)).
Example:

SIMPLEX,CALLS=2000,TOLERANCE=1.0E-8;
