Usage of the function nansum requires additional toolboxes

[fyrdahl]

Steps to reproduce

The files calcfunctions.m, reportflow.m, perfusion.m, dyssyncrony.m and reportbullseye.m uses the function nansum which requires the user to install either the "Financial Toolbox" or the "Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox".

Using this function is no longer recommended by MathWorks, as the same behavior can be achieved by the built-in sum function with the option 'omitnan'. Granted, the deprecation notice was issued with R2020b, and the recommended version for segment-open is R2019a, I still wanted to raise this issue.

Moreover, it would be great if the list of toolboxes indicated which ones are mandatory and which are optional, as not everyone has an academic license with access to all toolboxes. Can some of the mandatory toolboxes be made optional using error handling? The Parallel Computing Toolbox seems to be mandatory for setting the toolbar icon for LV-segmentation and optional for everything else.

Hi again @fyrdahl, the upstream company is looking into it. Will let you know what they find out.

Hi again, @fyrdahl - the upstream company devs let me know that they are strained by sick leaves etc right now... but in ~2 weeks they will be able to look in to it likely.

Hi again. I got an updated list from the developers after a long delay. In the next update there will be a reduced number of toolboxes needed.
