MATLAB: Maximise a function and find paramete

maximasation

Hi everybody,
i want to find lambda (single value) that determines the maturity at which the function achieves its max
((1-exp(-lambda*gmaturities))./(lambda*gmaturities)-exp(-lambda*gmaturities))
my code is
F=@(lambda)[((1-exp(-lambda*gmaturities))./(lambda*gmaturities)-exp(-lambda*gmaturities))];
lambda0=0.0609;
lambda=fsolve(F,lambda0)
and i got lambda = 1.005283084116551e+03,i know this is not correct
could you please help me?
gmaturities=[6;12;24;36;48;60;72;84;96;108;120;180;240]

Best Answer

gmaturities = [6;12;24;36;48;60;72;84;96;108;120;180;240]
F = @(lambda) -(((1-exp(-lambda*gmaturities))./(lambda*gmaturities)-exp(-lambda*gmaturities)));
lambda0 = 0.0609;
lambda = gamultiobj(F, lambda0)
The result will be a vector of values, because you are trying to maximize 13 equations at the same time -- each of the values of gmaturies effectively defines another equation, so you are asking to maximize the equations simultaneously.
I suspect you want something more like
gmaturities = [6;12;24;36;48;60;72;84;96;108;120;180;240];
lambda0 = 0.0609;
lambda = arrayfun(@(GM) fminsearch(@(lambda) -(((1-exp(-lambda*GM))./(lambda*GM)-exp(-lambda*GM))), lambda0), gmaturities);
