Problem with MatLab optimization

[Lupin]

I've been writing a function in Matlab ... the input parameters are:
a , b, c , d , e....

I can define an error (or objective) function to be minimized....

I've problems to implement a program that optimizes the error function considering only a certain numer of inputs (e.g. such as b parameter only) .

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

use the function fmins.

add to your objective function a option input (ex. 'ab' string) that specifies active parameters in the optimizacion and a CASE statement within your program such that considere the posibilities. This option input can be invoked from the optimization function. I hope to understand your problem.

Does your optimisation problem have anything to to with data? If yes, check the statistical routine which has been written for Matlab (statistics and econometrics)
