I just checked in a small bug fix to the nelder_mead_min function
regarding some trouble with parsing the list or cell arguments. Someone
more familiar with the function might want to check that I didn't
break anything. I did check that the test script test_nelder_mead_min_1
passes all tests.
Many of the minimization functions make use of lists in their argument
passing. This results in the warning
warning: list objects are deprecated; use cell arrays instead
It would be helpful if the authors of these functions could clean the
functions up to use exclusively cell arrays.
One last note: I noticed that someone ('highegg') recently changed the
names of fminunc and fzero to fminunc_compat and fzero_compat. Why the
name change? Wouldn't Matlab compatibility be better achieved by using
exactly the same name used in Matlab? I use fminunc in some of work,
including the data smoothing functions I contributed to the data
smoothing package.
Regards,
Jonathan
