Properties

PropertyValue
Description

A string describing the data set. The default is an empty string.

Units

A cell array of strings giving the units of the variables in the data set. The number of strings must equal the number of variables. Strings may be empty. The default is an empty cell array.

DimNames

A cell array of two strings giving the names of the rows and columns, respectively, of the data set. The default is {'Observations' 'Variables'}.

UserData

Any variable containing additional information to be associated with the data set. The default is an empty array.

ObsNames

A cell array of nonempty, distinct strings giving the names of the observations in the data set. The number of strings must equal the number of observations. The default is an empty cell array.

VarNames

A cell array of nonempty, distinct strings giving the names of the variables in the data set. The number of strings must equal the number of variables. The default is the cell array of string names for the variables used to create the data set.

Methods

The following table contains links to methods with supporting reference pages, including examples. For help on methods without links, type:

help dataset/methodname
MethodDescription
cat

Concatenate dataset arrays. The horzcat and vertcat methods implement special cases.

dataset

Construct dataset array.

datasetfun

Apply function to each variable of dataset array.

disp

Display dataset array, without printing data set name.

display

Display dataset array, printing data set name. To invoke this method, enter the name of a dataset array at the command prompt.

double

Convert dataset variables to double array.

end

Last index in indexing expression for dataset array.

get

Get dataset array property.

grpstats

A version of the grpstats function that accepts dataset arrays and categorical grouping variables as inputs.

horzcat

Horizontal concatenation for dataset arrays (add variables). To invoke this method, use square brackets, as described in Combining Dataset Arrays.

isempty

True for empty dataset array.

join

Merge observations from two dataset arrays.

length

Length of dataset array.

ndims

Number of dimensions of dataset array.

numel

Number of elements in dataset array.

replacedata

Convert array to dataset variables.

set

Set dataset array property value.

single

Convert dataset variables to single array.

size

Size of dataset array.

sortrows

Sort rows of dataset array.

subsasgn

Subscripted assignment for dataset array. To invoke this method, use parenthesis, dot, and curly brace indexing described in Accessing Dataset Arrays.

subsref

Subscripted reference for dataset array. To invoke this method, use parenthesis, dot, and curly brace indexing described in Accessing Dataset Arrays.

summary

Print summary statistics for dataset array.

unique

Unique observations in dataset.

vertcat

Vertical concatenation for dataset arrays (add observations). To invoke this method, use square brackets, as described in Combining Dataset Arrays.
