Explicit formula for kstest p value

I want to use the KS test in an optimisation problem and I don't think the default logical output from kstest will do since it's only ever 0 or 1 – not good for an optimisation problem. What command do I use to only get the pvalue so I can use it in my objective function?

Thanks.

Why can't you use this in your objective function?

[~,p] = kstest(___)

Can the objective function have a = sign in it? Also, ideally I want the product of several pvalues from separate tests.

[Jeff Miller]

Unless you insist on an anonymous function as the objective, then I think your objective function can do anything you want, e.g.

function prod3 = myobjective(xin)
[~,p1] = kstest(___);
[~,p2] = kstest(___);
[~,p3] = kstest(___);
prod3 = p1*p2*p3;
% or whatever
end

That's great! Thank you very much for your help.
