I see that you are attempting to apply the genetic algorithm to the peaks function and monitor the progress of points added in each iteration. I assume that you are using the “peakPlotIterates” function mentioned in the following link:
Based on the error message you've encountered, it seems there is an issue with the “peaksPlotIterates” function trying to modify the “optimValues” structure, by adding an “iteration” field.
There are a few points to note here:
- The video mentioned in the question utilizes MATLAB R2015a for the example and in turn uses the “gaoptimset” function which returns the genetic algorithm options as a “struct”.
- In the given implementation above in MATLAB R2024a, you have used the “optimoptions” with “ga” as the solver, which is the alternative provided in the documentation for “gaoptimset”. It is to be noted that for “ga” solver, “optimoptions” returns an object with set of options for “ga”.
In the “peakPlotIterates” function, a new field named “iterations” is added to the Genetic Algorithm options object “optimValues” causing this error while using “optimoptions”. A possible workaround to resolve this error is to modify “peakPlotIterates” function by creating a new local variable “iteration” and replace all “optimValues.iteration” with “iteration” to avoid modifying “optimValues”.
Hope this helps resolve the issue !
Please refer to the below documentation for your reference.
