Writing an M-File for the Function You Want to Optimize

To use the Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox, you must first write an M-file that computes the function you want to optimize. The M-file should accept a row vector, whose length is the number of independent variables for the objective function, and return a scalar. This section explains how to write the M-file and covers the following topics:
