Summary of Categorical Arrays
We can get the summary of categorical array by simply passing it to the summary command. Here, we get two scenarios. First, when the array is a 1D vector and second when it is a 2D array. We shall see the same with the help of examples.
Print summary of table, timetable, or categorical array in MATLAB
MATLAB provides various ways to store and organize data such as tables, categorical arrays, arrays, timetables, vectors, etc. MATLAB deals with big data used for machine learning and other mathematical functions which require different organization of data. For small data it is efficient to take a look at the entire data and summarize it but, the same cannot be done when you are working with big data or binary data(.mat files).
For such situations, MATLAB provides the summary function which returns a brief summary of the data structure passed to it. It must be noted here that the summary function works only on three type of MATLAB objects:
- Table
- Timetable
- Categorical Array/Vector
In this article, we shall see how to use the summary function on the above-mentioned MATLAB objects.
