%%NMSMAX  Nelder-Mead simplex method for direct search optimization.
%%        [x, fmax, nf] = NMSMAX(FUN, x0, STOPIT, SAVIT) attempts to
%%        maximize the function FUN, using the starting vector x0.
%%        The Nelder-Mead direct search method is used.
%%        Output arguments:
%%               x    = vector yielding largest function value found,
%%               fmax = function value at x,
%%               nf   = number of function evaluations.
%%        The iteration is terminated when either
%%               - the relative size of the simplex is <= STOPIT(1)
%%                 (default 1e-3),
%%               - STOPIT(2) function evaluations have been performed
%%                 (default inf, i.e., no limit), or
%%               - a function value equals or exceeds STOPIT(3)
%%                 (default inf, i.e., no test on function values).
%%        The form of the initial simplex is determined by STOPIT(4):
%%           STOPIT(4) = 0: regular simplex (sides of equal length, the default)
%%           STOPIT(4) = 1: right-angled simplex.
%%        Progress of the iteration is not shown if STOPIT(5) = 0 (default 1).
%%           STOPIT(6) indicates the direction (ie. minimization or 
%%                   maximization.) Default is 1, maximization.
%%                   set STOPIT(6)=-1 for minimization
%%        If a non-empty fourth parameter string SAVIT is present, then
%%        `SAVE SAVIT x fmax nf' is executed after each inner iteration.
%%        NB: x0 can be a matrix.  In the output argument, in SAVIT saves,
%%            and in function calls, x has the same shape as x0.
%%        NMSMAX(fun, x0, STOPIT, SAVIT, P1, P2,...) allows additional
%%        arguments to be passed to fun, via feval(fun,x,P1,P2,...).
