I've been asked repeatedly about the performance comparison between two MATLAB functions, bsxfun and repmat. These two functions can each help with calculations in which two arrays are... read more >>

Since MATLAB has had the capability to publish M-files, we have seen publishing being adopted at many educational institutions. And there is a variety of ways for you
to find out just what’s… read more >>

Recently someone at MathWorks asked me how he could automate the renaming of a bunch of M-files containing underscores ('_') in the names with derived names that removed the underscores and used... read more >>

The MATLAB function accumarray seems to be under-appreciated. accumarray allows you to aggregate items in an array in the way that you specify. Contents ... read more >>

Sometimes I am asked questions like "why did you introduce function xyz into MATLAB? And sometimes I have a compelling answer, even for something that looks simple on the surface. ... read more >>

This post continues in the theme from my last post, where people routinely come to me on a topic. Today I want to distinguish
between indexed assignment, where you can take advantage of scalar... read more >>

One of MATLAB's features is being able to customize plots. But some of the customization may not need to be done by hand and can instead be controlled programmatically. Let... read more >>

Today I’d like to introduce a guest blogger, Jiro Doke (email: Jiro.Doke@mathworks.com), who is an applications engineer here at The MathWorks. He used MATLAB in his life prior to The MathWorks, and... read more >>

What makes MATLAB unique? You have your choice regarding which element unique returns when there are repeated values in an array. What I wonder about is why it matters. ... read more >>

In my recent post on MExceptions, a user asked if a syntax error inside a function being called in a try/catch would get caught in older versions of MATLAB. I've done a tiny bit of... read more >>
