Unimodal regression

from Unimodal regression by Rasmus Bro
Unimodal least squares regression routine.

B=unimodal(X,Y,Bold)
function B=unimodal(X,Y,Bold)

% Solves the problem min|Y-XB'| subject to the columns of 
% B are unimodal and nonnegative. The algorithm is iterative
% If an estimate of B (Bold) is given only one iteration is given, hence
% the solution is only improving not least squares
% If Bold is not given the least squares solution is estimated
