I am attempting to run a patternsearch optimization for the first time. When I run the default patternsearch example (using https://www.mathworks.com/help/gads/patternsearch.html), I get the following error:
>> UnconstrainedPatternSearchMinimizationExampleUndefined function 'patternsearch' for input arguments of type'function_handle'.Error in UnconstrainedPatternSearchMinimizationExample (line 17)x = patternsearch(fun,x0)It appears that I have the global optimization toolbox installed, and furthermore that patternsearch is recognized as a function just like any of the other optimizers:
