My colleague Tim makes a video presentation of new hires joining MathWorks for each quarterly company meeting. He likes to use uniformly cropped photos of staff members, similar to this one of when I joined 20 years ago today (I was more pixelated in those days).

But this can be time… read more >>

My colleague Toshi made a very interesting post on Loren’s blog recently about analyzing Twitter. Someone asked if he could give some instructions on how to set up and run his code as it is a bit involved. I thought I could help with a code-along style video going over… read more >>

In this “Cody Code-Along” for the next problem in Release 2016b Features Challenge I do the opposite of the previous one and convert a string array with missing values to a cell array.
Features covered in this code-along style video include:

string, cellstr

Here I continue with Cody Code-Alongs for the Release 2016b Features Challenge. This problem looks at converting between strings and cell arrays of character arrays with missing values. I could not however figure out a better way to set string elements to <missing>.
Features covered include:

string, cellstr

My colleague Ned suggested I take a look at the Release 2016b Feature Challenge problem set in Cody. I have tried some of the new features in 2016b but this is a good way to learn more. The first few are on string arrays.

Its common when you are developing code to find that you want to re-use a piece of it for some new dataset or task. Instead of copying and pasting, always consider writing a function. Here is an example of me doing this, moving the code out and updating my script… read more >>

I often save tables to Excel for sharing with others, but if the data is too large, I need to share to a CSV file instead. Here I build a function to do that. Features covered in this code-along style video include:

writetable
regexprep

In this code-along style video I attempt to develop a script to import and analyze website page response times data, including doing some comparisons of distributions.
Features covered include:

Table indexing
hist and subplot
