EXAMPLE OF MATLAB COMMANDS TO HELP YOU GET STARTED

» load d:\research\overland\scan3text.txt % loads file

» d=scan3text; % copies file to new file "d"

» clear scan3text % junks old file (too many letters!)

» who % views Matlab workspace

Your variables are:

d

» size(d) % gives size of d (rows columns)

ans =

359424 1

» plot(d) % plots d

» whitebg % changes plot background (better print)

» xlabel('Sample Number')

» ylabel('Voltage')

» title('Measurements of Conveyor Voltage')

» figure(2) % opens new figure window

» hist(d) % plots histogram of d

» xlabel('Conveyor Voltage Bins (volts)')

» ylabel('Number of Measurements in a Bin')

» title('Hisotgram of Conveyor Voltage')

» zoom on %allows mouse to specify plot zoom region

» d1=[d(1:18500);d(19500:359424)]; %create d1 with first spike removed

» plot(d)

» figure(3)

» plot(d1)

Help Hints:

» help corrcoef

CORRCOEF Correlation coefficients.

CORRCOEF(X) is a matrix of correlation coefficients formed

from array X whose each row is an observation, and each

column is a variable.

CORRCOEF(X,Y), where X and Y are column vectors is the same as

CORRCOEF([X Y]).

If C is the covariance matrix, C = COV(X), then CORRCOEF(X) is

the matrix whose (i,j)'th element is

C(i,j)/SQRT(C(i,i)*C(j,j)).

See also COV, STD.
