Calculate numerical gradient

Sorry for flooding the forum, but I am currently discovering the newer versions of Gauss and some questions arise.

I would like to understand the difference between the commands gradp and gradMT. If I understand well, the only difference is that the latter allows structure input, while the former only a vector input of the parameters. Is that correct? Or are there any other differences, such as different computation methods, etc?

The main difference, and the reason it was created, is to allow the parameter vector input. It does also have a slightly different calculation for the distance it adds to the parameters. i.e. the h in f(x+h).

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried gradp and it seemed to work fine. However, I should compare the two for a function for which the analytical gradient is known, so I can compare the numerical approximations.
