MATLAB: Hello i am asking about how to solve this error? ..Note that input : q=[0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5] and z=[0,1,2,3,4]

Question

function y=c(q,z)

p=1-q;

lambda=z.*q./p;

sum=1;

for k=0:max(z)

    poisson=exp(-lambda);
    for i=1:k
        poisson=poisson.*lambda./i;
    end
    sum=sum-poisson.*(1-((q/p).^(z-k)));

end

y=array2table(sum);

end

Answer 1

You are asking to do element by element multiplication of a 5 x 1 vector and a 1 x 5 vector. For the .* operator, the array sizes must be the same or one of them needs to be a scalar, unless you are using R2016b or later (which we can deduce you are not using)
