MATLAB 2018 Essential Training-0daytown

Learn how to analyze data using one of the most powerful statistical software packages available: MATLAB 2018. MATLAB is a highly useful tool for complex computation as it allows high-order calculations and analysis in matrices. In fact, it treats all of its data as vectors and matrices, so the course starts with a basic linear algebra tutorial outside of the program before describing essential analytical skills performed using MATLAB. Instructor Curt Frye covers creating MATLAB scripts, accepting user input, extending MATLAB with user-defined functions, controlling flow with conditional logic and loops, managing text strings and other data structures like numbers, performing advanced plotting, and summarizing data using statistical analysis functions. By the end of the course, data scientists such as engineers and economist should be able to effectively use MATLAB for numerical analysis, data modeling, and data visualization.

Topics include:
Defining variables and contains
Exploring operators
Summarizing with built-in functions
Generating random numbers
Defining vectors and matrices
Accepting input in scripts
Writing and reading data from external files
Creating custom functions
Using conditional logic
Repeating operations with loops
Working with text strings
Plotting data and function output
Formatting, saving, and printing plots
Using statistical and matrix functions
