MATLAB Programming Fundamentals - MathWorks

When using dot indexing, you must specify a single variable to access. For a single

variable name, use T.var. For a single variable index, specified as a positive integer, use

T.(varindex).

Create Table from Subset of Larger Table

This example shows how to create a table from a subset of a larger table.

Load Sample Data

Load the sample patients data and create a table. Use the unique identifiers in LastName

as row names.

load patients

patients = table(Age,Gender,Height,Weight,Smoker,...

'RowNames',LastName);

The table, patients, contains 100 rows and 5 variables.

View the data type, description, units, and other descriptive statistics for each variable by

using summary to summarize the table.
