Notes:
01. All students should create a directory named C:\MATLAB770 which will
serve as the home directory for course related materials.
02. COGENT 2000 should be installed in a directory name "C:\cog2011".
03 The special operators for dealing with NaN data (i.e., nansum,
nanmean, nanstd) discussed at the top of p.11 are NOT part of the
basic MATLAB distribution. You must have installed the Statistics Toolbox
to have access to these commands.
04. Errata on page 12 in M4Psych tutorial: "subplot(2,2,1)" on 9th
line from bottom should be "subplot(2,1,2)".
05. Errata at bottom of page 19 of C2K User Manual...Line should read:
IA=A(size(A,1):-1:1,:,:);
