Duane - yes you are probably correct, the original calculation however was done differently and was shorter. However, the benefit for me personally is two fold - 1) it makes it easier to troubleshoot the code because it's more readable and 2) repetitive calculations are generally best kept as functions which enable you to more easily find and replace them, and avoid mistakes in typing out duplicate code. But everyone has their own preferred way of doing things.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. This file was written well over 4 years ago (before you reviewed it) and at the time there was nothing available that did this. As with all my files they were simple (in my mind) solutions to achieve what I wanted and worked. I posted them in case anyone else found them useful. Perhaps you might consider that in future when rating (very!!) old submissions ;-)

For me histc(x,unique(x)) did what I wanted. This gives me the frequency of each value that occurs in the vector x.
