Take a look at the `nmk' function in"dfoptim" package.

Hi,

i have a question concerning the Nelder-Mead algorithm in R. As far as i can
see, the shrink operation is not included in the optim() function. Does
anyone know an implementation of the Nelder-Mead algorithm including this
operation in R? Could maybe someone send me one? I would try to write the
code on my own, but due to my doctor thesis i am a little under time
pressure and would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance!

Greetings
Ralf
