[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47369] [octave forge] (statistics) gevfit malfunctioning (because of fminunc failure)

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #47369 (project octave):

your first example doesn't have a function f to feed into nelder_mead_min.

I'm mainly asking if the issue is with gevfit in the statistics package (which
seems to only handle initial param guessing then call other functions),
gevlike (cost function passed to fminunc by gevfit, also in the statistics
package), or something specific to fminunc (not in the statistics package).  

if the latter, then the most useful course wolud be to 
(1) retitle this report removing reference to the statistics package.
(2) come up with a minimal fminunc only test case that highlights the specific
problem
(3) come up with a more descriptive title for the bug report.
