How to compute the hessian matrix, when I'm using a Nelder-Mead maximum optimization of a function

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi,
I'm performing a nelder-mead optimization of a function (f), and I want to calculate the coefficient of variance matrix (COVmatrix). To do this I want to use the inverse Hessian matrix or inverse fisher information matrix. Is there an command in matlab that finds this??
Thanks!
My script:
clc;clear all; close all;
T = [1651 1640 1670 1670 1658 1668 1647 1661]; % Test data
f = @(x) -(sum(log10(wblpdf(T,x(1),x(2))))); % Function
[x,fval] = fminsearch(f,[1600, 100]) % Finds maximum values of x(1) and x(2)

I am not aware of anything in base MATLAB, but there is at least one Hessian calculator on the File Exchange.
