Before getting started

Acknowledgement:

 Almost entirely, this tutorial compiled from bits of information gathered from various internet sources  It is available for download from SBEL website in PPT format for other to be able to save, edit, and distribute as they see fit  Please let me know of any mistakes you find  email me at my lastname @wisc.edu

The right frame of mind:  You will not be able to say at the end of workshop that you know MATLAB but rather that you have been exposed to MATLAB (I don ’ t know MATLAB myself, I ’ m just using it … )   Use MATLAB ’ s “ help ” , this is your first stop Second stop: search the web for examples that come close to what you need  You learn how to use MATLAB by using it, that ’ s why the start might be slow and at times frustrating

Function M-file

function r = ourrank(X,tol) % rank of a matrix s = svd(X); if (nargin == 1) tol = max(size(X)) * s(1)* eps; end r = sum(s > tol); Multiple Input Arguments use ( )

»

r=ourrank(rand(5),.1); Multiple Output Arguments, use [ ]

»

[m std]=ourstat(1:9); function [mean,stdev] = ourstat(x) [m,n] = size(x); if m == 1 m = n; end mean = sum(x)/m; stdev = sqrt(sum(x.^2)/m – mean.^2);

Basic Parts of a Function M-File

Output Arguments Function Name Input Arguments Online Help Function Code function y = mean (x) % MEAN Average or mean value.

% For vectors, MEAN(x) returns the mean value.

% For matrices, MEAN(x) is a row vector % containing the mean value of each column.

[m,n] = size(x); if m == 1 m = n; end y = sum(x)/m;

Script and Function Files

• Script Files • Work as though you typed commands into MATLAB prompt • Variable are stored in MATLAB workspace • Function Files • Let you make your own MATLAB Functions • All variables within a function are

local

• All information must be passed to functions as parameters • Subfunctions are supported

The concept of

Workspace

• At any time in a MATLAB session, the code has a workspace associated with it • The workspace is like a sandbox in which you find yourself at a certain point of executing MATLAB • The “Base Workspace”: the workspace in which you live when you execute commands from prompt • Remarks: • Each MATLAB function has its own workspace (its own sandbox) • A function invoked from a calling function has its own and separate workspace (sandbox) • A script does not lead to a new workspace (

unlike

a function), but lives in the workspace from which it was invoked

Variable Types in MATLAB

• Local Variables • In general, a variable in MATLAB has

local

scope, that is, it’s only available in its workspace • The variable disappears when the workspace ceases to exist • Recall that a script does not define a new workspace – be careful, otherwise you can step on variables defined at the level where the script is invoked • Since a function defines its own workspace, a variable defined in a function is local to that function • Variables defined outside the function should be passed to function as arguments.

Furthermore

, the arguments are passed by value • Every variable defined in the subroutine, if to be used outside the body of the function, should be returned back to the calling workspace

Variable Types in MATLAB

• Global Variables • These are variables that are available in multiple workspaces • They have to be explicitly declared as being global • Not going to expand on this, since using global variables is a bad programming practice • A note on returning values from a function • Since all variables are local and input arguments are passed by value, when returning from a function a variable that is modified inside that function will not appear as modified in the calling workspace

unless

the variable is either global, or declared a return variable for that function

[x,fval]= fminbnd(fun,x1,x2,options) fminsearch

minimize function w/ several variables

[x,fval]= fminsearch(fun,x0,options)

Use

optimset

to determine options parameter.

options = optimset('param1',value1,...)

Ordinary Differential Equations (Solving Initial Value Problem)

An explicit ODE with initial value: Using

ode45

for non-stiff functions and for stiff functions.

ode23t [t,y] = solver(odefun,tspan,y0,options) function dydt = odefun(t,y) Initialvlue [initialtime finaltime]

• Use

odeset

Graphics Fundamentals

Graphics and Plotting in MATLAB

Basic Plotting  plot, title, xlabel, grid, legend, hold, axis Editing Plots  Property Editor Mesh and Surface Plots  meshgrid, mesh, surf, colorbar, patch, hidden Handle Graphics

2-D Plotting

color line marker Syntax:

plot(x1, y1, 'clm1', x2, y2, 'clm2', ...)

Example:

x=[0:0.1:2*pi]; y=sin(x); z=cos(x); plot(x,y,x,z, 'linewidth' ,2) title('Sample Plot', 'fontsize' ,14); xlabel( 'X values' , 'fontsize' ,14); ylabel( 'Y values' , 'fontsize' ,14); legend( 'Y data' , 'Z data' ) grid on

Sample Plot

Ylabel Legend Xlabel Title Grid

Displaying Multiple Plots

Nomenclature:   Figure window – the window in which MATLAB displays plots Plot – a region of a window in which a curve (or surface) is displayed Three typical ways to display multiple curves in MATLAB (other combinations are possible … )  One figure contains one plot that contains multiple curves  Requires the use of the command “ hold ” (see MATLAB help)   One figure contains multiple plots, each plot containing one curve  Requires the use of the command “ subplot ” Multiple figures, each containing one or more plots, each containing one or more curves  Requires the use of the command “ figure ” and possibly “ subplot ”

Subplots

Syntax:

subplot(rows,cols,index)

»

subplot(2,2,1);

»

»

subplot(2,2,2)

»

...

»

subplot(2,2,3)

»

The

figure

Command

Use if you want to have several figures open for plotting The command by itself creates a new figure window and returns its handle >> figure If you have 20 figures open and want to make figure 9 the default one (this is where the next plot command will display a curve) do >> figure(9) >> plot( … ) Use the command close(9) if you want to close figure 9 in case you don ’ t need it anymore

Surface Plot Example

x = 0:0.1:2; y = 0:0.1:2; [xx, yy] = meshgrid(x,y); zz=sin(xx.^2+yy.^2); surf(xx,yy,zz) xlabel('X axes') ylabel('Y axes')

Character String Manipulation

Character Arrays (Strings)

Created using single quote delimiter (') »

str = 'Hi there,' str = Hi there,

»

str2 = 'Isn''t MATLAB great?' str2 = Isn't MATLAB great?

Each character is a separate matrix element (16 bits of memory per character)

str = H i t h e r e , 1x9 vector

Indexing same as for numeric arrays

String Array Concatenation

Using [ ] operator: Each row must be same length Row separator: semicolon (;) Column separator: space / comma (,)

» » »

str ='Hi there,'; str1='Everyone!'; 1x9 vectors new_str=[str, ' ', str1] new_str = Hi there, Everyone!

• Arrays with named data containers called

fields

.

» » »

patient.name= 'John Doe' ; patient.billing = 127.00; patient.test= [79 75 73; 180 178 177.5; 220 210 205];

• Also, Build structure arrays using the

struct

function.

• Array of

structures

patient(2).name= 'Katty Thomson' ; Patient(2).billing = 100.00; Patient(2).test= [69 25 33; 120 128 177.5; 220 210 205];

Cell Arrays

• Array for which the elements are

cell

s and can hold other MATLAB arrays of different types.

»

A(1,1) = {[1 4 3; 0 5 8; 7 2 9]};

»

A(1,2) = { 'Anne Smith' };

» »

A(2,1) = {3+7i}; A(2,2) = {-pi:pi/10:pi};

• Using braces

{}

to point to elements of cell array • Using

celldisp

function to display cell array
