i have a data set of acceleration vs time, i need to intergrate it into velocity vs time and also displacement vs time. anyone can help me with numerical simpson's rule instead of using cumtrapz?

You need to implement the simpson's rule on your own. A naive implementation would be something like that
f = @(t)t.^2;
N = 1000;
ti = 0;
tend = 5;
h=(tend-ti)/N;
t=linspace(ti,tend,N);
F = 0;
for i = 1:N-1
F = F + (h/6)*(f(t(i))+(4*f((t(i)+t(i+1))/2))+f(t(i+1)));
end
% To verify the result
AnalyticalResult = tend^3/3;
Error = (AnalyticalResult-F)/AnalyticalResult
Error =
1.0000e-03
