Handling missing observations while using fmincon

Hello,
I have data that consists of 70 variables that I observe for 100,000 observations but I don't observe a few of those 70 variables for some random observations and MATLAB codes them as NaN. I'm using fmincon to find the minimum of a function with 70 parameters. My function is of the form f(
). When I run the algorithm, I notice that MATLAB does not compute the index function
when there is a missing value for one of the k variables for some observation i. How should I handle such missing observations?


Thank you in advance,
Selcen

Use this kind of structure:
XY = [X, Y];
XY = rmmissing(XY);
Xm = XY(:,1:end-1);
Ym = XY(:,end);
objfun = @(PARAMS) sum((YourFunction(PARAMS,Xm)-Ym).^2);
bestPARAMS = fmincon(objfun, PARAMS0);

They should be zeros rather than NaNs, shouldn't they? With zeros, they will make no contribution to the linear part of the prediction.
X(isnan(X))=0;
