Help with Statistics Toolbox: Output argument "err" (and maybe others) not assigned during call to "C:...file​path...\st​atsizechk.​m>statsize​ch

I am using Matlab 7.11.0 (R2010b) Windows 32 bit with the statistics toolbox installed. I recieve this error when I use the pearsrnd function.

Error in ==> pearsrnd at 69 [err, sizeOut] = statsizechk(4,mu,sigma,skew,kurt,varargin{:});

??? Output argument "err" (and maybe others) not assigned during call to "C:\...filepath...\statsizechk.m>statsizechk".

While searching the web I found that others have recieved this error using different functions, but I have not found a solution.

Could I have the wrong toolbox version for my matlab release?

thanks,

susan

It turned out that I had old versions of a few toolbox functions in my directory. doh! Deleting them fixed the problem.

Hey @Susan can you please help me how to correct this error? I am using MATLAB R2016a.

[err, sizeOut] = statsizechk(2,a,b,varargin{:})

I think you might have a third party toolbox installed that has its own statsizechk

[Walter Roberson]

What shows up for

which -all statsizechk

Note: in sufficiently new MATLAB, statsizechk was made a built-in, and was renamed to internal.stats.statsizechk

The version in ashiiii\New folder was probably interfering.
