These are the MATLAB programs described in Chapter 2.
These programs are open source and may be used, or modified, without fees or restrictions.
These programs determine the Probabilty Density Function (PDF) and Cumulative Probability Function (CDF) from an ASCII (text) data file:
- HISTOGRAM PDF (pdfhist.m)
- MULTISCALE PDF (pdfmulti.m)
- RANK CDF (pdfcum.m)
For the three programs
- INPUT FILE:
text (ASCII) data file
anyname.txt
numbers separated by (RETURN) - HISTOGRAM PDF OUTPUT FILE:
text (ASCII) data file
3 columns: bin center (TAB) PDF (TAB) number in bin (RETURN)
given the name anynameHISTPDF.txt - MULTISCALE PDF OUTPUT FILE:
text (ASCII) data file
2 columns: bin center (TAB) PDF (RETURN)
given the name anynameMULTIPDF.txt - RANK CDF OUTPUT FILE:
text (ASCII) data file
2 columns: value (TAB) RANKCDF (RETURN)
