I have to add this here also, as all other information I found on the internet was misleading: Just open the user’s environment variables dialog and add a user environment variable HOME pointing to your home directory - e.g. C:\Users\username. That’s it, iss

As I need to call Matlab scripts from the command, e.g., for running Matlab scripts in a batch, every once in a while, I post a little reminder for my self here. Keep in mind that the called Matlab command needs to have an exit at the end, otherwise Matlab will keep running, waiting for input. In this example I am calling myscript and forward bash options $1 and $2 to it. Furthermore I am suppressing the GUI (-nodisplay), the Java Virtual Machine (-nojvm), the splash screen (-nosplash) and the Matlab Desktop (-nodesktop). Anyhow, the latte two options might be implied by suppressing the GUI already - but I’m not taking chances ;). ...

This is a follow up post of a previous one just using Matlab instead of Python. In the following paragraphs, I will show my way of reading and writing CSV files using Matlab. If you happen to know a better or more elegant solution, please drop a comment! Reading CSV Files with Matlab The following Matlab function reads a CSV file with the header as a string vector and the data as numeric matrix. Note that non-numerical data returns NaN. ...

Since CSV (comma-separated-values) files are supported by almost every statistics and/or math tool, I sticked to use the format for all my data collections. If you need further evidence, check out the (incomplete) list of natively CSV supporting applications: Gnu/R KNIME MS Excel LibreOffice Calc … Apart from those, a major benefit of CSV files is that you can edit them with any editor, as they are plain text files. Unfortunately, some applications have poor support for such files, e.g. Matlab and Python. Fortunately, as the file structure is so easy, you can add CSV support pretty easily. In the following I will show you my solution for Python. ...
