% Nelder-Mead like optimization routine (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelder-Mead_method)
%
% By default the standard values for the reflection, the expansion, the contraction
% and the shrink coefficients are used (alpha = 1, chi = 2, psi = 1 / 2 and σ = 1 / 2).
%
% The routine automatically restarts from the current solution while amelioration is possible.
%
% INPUTS
%  o objective_function     [string]                  Name of the objective function to be minimized.
%  o x                      [double]                  n*1 vector, starting guess of the optimization routine.
%  o options                [structure]               Options of this implementation of the simplex algorithm.
%  o var_names              [cell]                    Names of parameters
%                                                       for verbose output
%  o varargin               [cell of structures]      Structures to be passed to the objective function.
%
%     varargin{1} --> dataset_
%     varargin{2} --> dataset_info

%
% OUTPUTS
%  o x                      [double]                  n*1 vector, estimate of the optimal inputs.
%  o fval                   [double]                  scalar, value of the objective at the optimum.
%  o exitflag               [integer]                 scalar equal to 0 or 1 (0 if the algorithm did not converge to
%                                                     a minimum).
