Problem with fminsearch in Matlab

[575]

want to solve the following problem
Function:
function [f] = nyfil(x)
v=ones(50,1);
v=v*10;
B_t=v;
S_t=v;
M_t = min(B_t,S_t)+max(B_t,S_t)/2;
x_s = x(2)/(x(5)+x(2));
x_b = x(1)/(x(5)+x(1));

f= sum(x(1)-x(2)+M_t*(log(x_b)+log(x_s))) + S_t*log(x(5)+x(2)) + sum(log(x(4)*(1-x(3))*exp(-x(5))*x_s^(S_t-M_t) +
x(4)*x(3)*exp(-x(5))*x_b^(B_t-M_t)*x_s^(S_t-M_t)*x_b^(B_t-M_t)));
%x(1) = epsilon_b
%x(2) = epsilon_s
%x(3) = delta
%x(4) = alpha
%x(5) = mu_
__________________________________________
I call this function from matlabs command window:
[x,fval] = fminsearch(@nyfil,[1,1,1,1,1])

I get the following error messages:
??? Error: File: Nyfil.m Line: 12 Column: 115
Incomplete or misformed expression or statement.

Error in ==> fminsearch at 175
fv,1) = funfcn(x,varargin{:});
_____________________________________
I dont understand why this expression is misformed or incomplete?

I try to solve the problem by starting with a small equation and then expanding it. Works with 2 variables in x but when I expand the equation f I get this error message. I would really appreciate if anyone could help me

if you have your m-file written just like you post it.. the problem is that the expresion is too long! you should use the operator ... to continue the ecuation at the next line.

hope it helps!!

Previous post isn't the cause. When I convert your function to single value instead of parms 50x1, I get:

x =
1.1815 1.2226e-015 1.0343 1.1537 1.5154
fval =
-347.66

called by:
