Descriptive statistics quantitatively describe features of a sample of data, such as the basic mean or standard deviation. Cumulative methods report a statistic as you move through the elements of an array. Moving methods report a statistic within a local window of array elements, then move to the next window.
Computing with Descriptive Statistics
Analyze data with basic statistics.
Identify outliers within data sets.
Covariance and correlation coefficients help to describe the linear relationship between variables.
Least squares fitting is a common type of linear regression that is useful for modeling relationships within data.
The Basic Fitting UI is an interactive data modeling tool.
There are many functions in MATLAB® that are useful for data fitting.
