Mercury Spectrophotometric Modeling Using MESSENGER Data by Vesa Björn, Karri Muinonen, Antti Penttilä, Deborah Domingue

“…The numerical implementation of the model includes a set of discrete parameter values, which we extend by using trilinear interpolation: 0.15–0.55 for v , 0.20–0.80 for H , and 0.00–0.10 for σ . We optimize the model parameters in the least-squares sense using the Nelder–Mead simplex method followed by Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. …”
