MATLAB: Fminsearch – find best x0

Question

Hi i was wondering how to best use the function fminsearch. I determine a x0 for this function and get a result but this result changes when I change my x0 parameter. How can I best optimize my x0 suggestion? Run a loop for multiple x0's and take the mean??

Answer 1

With each x0 you can have the value of the objective displayed. You would take the x0 that gave you the smallest objective value.
