Matlab fminunc calculate standard errors MLE -
i have problem when trying calculate standard errors of estimates fminunc. estimation technique maximum likelihood estimation. i've tried 2 ways below, both failed:
the hessian matrix fminunc results non-invertible, can't standard error hessian matrix.
so turned standard errors using opg(outer-product-of-gradient) method. however, gradient provided failed pass derivative-check.
does know whether there other ways can standard error? appreciated!

i've skimmed , sense can't variance matrix non-invertible hessian matrix. doesn't exist. reference above says standard response is:
a) more data or
b) use less complicated model.
offers rescue methods if neither of option. haven't gotten head around methods, sorry incomplete.
