Hi community, I previously asked about grey wolf optimizer and the guidance I got was much helpful,am eternally grateful for you all. I wanted to use the code to estimate Weibull parameters. I have a slight problem, when defining weibull function, do we consider it as maximization problem or minimization problem? Being that my objecive function has to be Weibull function. I will appreciate any clue or any help.

It depends what environment you are formulating the problem in. fmincon and fminunc will only minimize functions, so you cannot present the problem to them as a maximization. However, if you set up the problem with optimproblem(), then it allows you to specify through ObjectiveSense whether you are minimizing or maximizing,

Usually, you maximize the corresponding log-likelihood function. So it's a maximization problem.
To maximize, use one of MATLAB's optimizers. Instead of maximizing f, you can then minimize -f so that every optimizer in MATLAB can also be used as a maximizer.

but the resaerch am doing requires me to obtain the parameters using grey wolf, then compare with the results of mle().
So your research is about different optimization methods ?
