/**
 * The Nelder-Mead method is a commonly used parameter optimization method that
 * can be used for neural network training. It typically provides a good error
 * rate and is relatively fast.
 * 
 * Nelder-Mead must build a simplex, which is an n*(n+1) matrix of weights. If
 * you have a large number of weights, this matrix can quickly overflow memory.
 * 
 * The biggest enhancement that is needed for this trainer is to make use of
 * multi-threaded code to evaluate the speed evaluations when training on a
 * multi-core.
 * 
 * This implementation is based on the source code provided by John Burkardt
 * (http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/)
