    Minimize a function using Nelder-Mead downhill simplex algorithm.

    This optimizer is also known as Amoeba (from Numerical Recipes) and
    the Nealder-Mead simplex algorithm.  This is not the simplex algorithm
    for solving constrained linear systems.

    Downhill simplex is a robust derivative free algorithm for finding
    minima.  It proceeds by choosing a set of points (the simplex) forming
    an n-dimensional triangle, and transforming that triangle so that the
    worst vertex is improved, either by stretching, shrinking or reflecting
    it about the center of the triangle.  This algorithm is not known for
    its speed, but for its simplicity and robustness, and is a good algorithm
    to start your problem with.

    *Parameters*:

        f : callable f(x,*args)
            The objective function to be minimized.
        x0 : ndarray
            Initial guess.
        bounds : (ndarray,ndarray) or None
            Bounds on the parameter values for the function.
        radius: float
            Size of the initial simplex.  For bounded parameters (those
            which have finite lower and upper bounds), radius is clipped
            to a value in (0,0.5] representing the portion of the 
            range to use as the size of the initial simplex.

    *Returns*: Result (`park.simplex.Result`)

        x : ndarray
            Parameter that minimizes function.
        fx : float
            Value of function at minimum: ``fopt = func(xopt)``.
        iters : int
            Number of iterations performed.
        calls : int
            Number of function calls made.
        success : boolean
            True if fit completed successfully.

    *Other Parameters*:

        xtol : float
            Relative error in xopt acceptable for convergence.
        ftol : number
            Relative error in func(xopt) acceptable for convergence.
        maxiter : int=200*N
            Maximum number of iterations to perform.  Defaults
        update_handler : callable
            Called after each iteration, as callback(xk,fxk), where xk
            is the current parameter vector and fxk is the function value.
            Returns True if the fit should continue.


    *Notes*

        Uses a Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm to find the minimum of
        function of one or more variables.
