The optim function has a debug option called trace see the helppage: trace Non-negative integer. If positive, tracing information on the progress of the optimization is produced. Higher values may produce more tracing information: for method "L-BFGS-B" there are six levels of tracing. (To understa

Dear list,   I am looking for an R-only implementation of a Nelder-Mead process that can find local maxima of a spatially distributed variable, e.g. height, on a spatial grid, and outputs the coordinates of the new point during each evaluation. I have found two previous threads about this topic,
