summary(varargin)

Displays summary statistics for and input matrix in the command window

% This function displays summary statistics in the command window and can
% be customized to display any user-defined functions on numeric data
%
% SUMMARY(x) displays summary statistics for numeric vector or matrix x
% SUMMARY(x,y,z) displays 3 column of statistics, one for each input
% variable
%
% The summary will not show variable names if the input matrix is a subset of
% a named variable. For example:
%
% data = rand(10)
% summary(data) will show "data" as the header, but
% summary(data(1:3)) will show "" as the header
%
% [NOTE 1] To customize this function to display different summary values you can add
% or remove the following strings from the cell array variable "request_str"
% in the summary.m matlab file.
%
% Formatting Strings:
% "name" - display the name of the input variable
% "blankline" - leave line blank (for clarity)
%
% Summary Strings:
% "n" - number of non NaN values
% "min" - minimum
% "max" - maximum
% "mean" - arithmetic mean
% "median" - median
% "==NaN" - number of NaNs
% "stddev" - standard deviation
% "==0" - number of zero values
% ">0" - number of positive values
% "<0" - number of negative values
%
% [NOTE 2] To further customize SUMMARY you can implement your own functions and add
% them (along with a reference string) to the function_list variable. The function
% that you define should make use of the global variable "d" or "dreal" which
% refers to the original input data, or a vector of the non-NaN data,
% respectively. The function should return a scalar.
% For instance, you could define the function frange inside this function
% to be:
%
% function r = frange()
% r = max(dreal)-min(dreal);
% end
%
% Then you would add the row {"range",@frange} to function_list variable.
% After that you can add "range" to request_str (see [NOTE 1]) to display
% the range of the input data when summary is called.
