How test the presence of a toolbox

Hi!

I would like in my program to test if the user has a statistical toolbox (Statistics_Toolbox). If so, it would use a precise Matlab function, if not an approached one programmed by myself. Do you know if it's possible?

Thanks!

Martin

V = ver;
VName = {V.Name};
any(strcmp(VName, 'Statistics Toolbox'))

Thanks Jan for your answer. My question was not precise enough though; I actually wanted to test about the possession of the toolbox's license, not only if the toolbox was installed.

Thanks,

Martin
