You have a script somewhere named ‘fminsearch’. This is called ‘overshadowing’ of built-in MATLAB functions, and should be avoided.
Run this line:
q = which('fminsearch', '-all')
It should only return these two lines (or something similar for your system):
q =
'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2016a\toolbox\matlab\optimfun\fminsearch.p'
'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2016a\toolbox\matlab\optimfun\fminsearch.m'
The solution is to rename your script file.
