Intro to Matlab functions and classes

In this video, I show how to work with Matlab functions either as "anonymous" functions (or "inline" functions), functions in separate function files, or functions organized into a static Matlab class.
In our course, we are only going to use classes as a convenient way of organizing functions so that they are all in the same file together with other related functions. This is for example going to be convenient when we lump together the functions for simulating data, getting starting values, evaluating the criterion function (e.g. likelihood function), or estimating a particular estimator.

Thanks

Thank you for such an informative video. My question is about the data which are located in a class. Are they available on another class or main code? How can I have classes which contain common data?

[@superpronker]

Dear Mohammad, When you say 'data', what do you mean specifically? Are you referring to the functions in the classes or to the so-called 'properties' of the class? In the latter case, you have to assign the properties as 'Public'. Cheers!

What shortcut did you use around 10:32 ? It looks like your were able to combine it all together again without clicking each element

[@malekebadi9805]

ctrl + , OR ctrl + shft + , works on windows. One is folding and the other for expanding.

Hey it is possible to do like if statement along with class ?

[@AndersMunkNielsen]

Yes, a class' functions can have if statements in them. I'm not sure if I fully understand what you are asking?

Hello Anders Munk-Nielsen, Thank you for all this information, my question is what is the difference between a class and a function? what can be a plus if i choose a class in my programm instead a function? thank you. Marouane Srhir

[@superpronker]

A simple class is just a collection of individual functions. More advanced classes can do more than that.

[@srhirmarouane4597]

Thank you for your fast answer, good job.

[@srhirmarouane4597]

Do you have any idea about the time of simulation between a class and a function?

[@superpronker]

I don't think you will experience any difference.

Hola Anders Munk-Nielsen , Could you please explain to me if possible how to average 10 or more frames using Matlab. Kind Regards, Orlando

[@superpronker]

Hi Orlando. I'm not sure what you mean with "frames"? Do you mean matrices?

[@technologymentor786]

1. Name 5 classes of objects in MATLAB?

[@Lebedev171]

How to use properties?

[@superpronker]

Your question is quite general, which makes it hard to answer. But my guess is you should start by understanding "Constant" properties. See e.g. se.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/properties-with-constant-values.html
