How do I monitor the progress of my calculation or script in MATLAB?

I would like to know how much of the script is complete, ideally as time left for completion.

There is no built-in functionailty to perform this in MATLAB beyond specifying debug statements and print-to-screen updates at specific sections of the user's code.

As a workaround, a WAITBAR could be used in conjunction with the user's program file to monitor progress through sections of the code. One possible solution is outlined in this MATLAB Central blog post:
