MATLAB: How to compute the Hermite Polynomials in MATLAB without using the Symbolic Toolbox

MATLAB

While it is possible to compute the Hermite polynomials symbolically using the MFUN function in the Symbolic Toolbox, I am looking for a way to compute those numerically in MATLAB.

This functionality is not directly available in MATLAB. However, you can compute the Hermite polynomials by using the user-contributed file on the MATLAB file exchange here:

MATLAB: Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolating Polynomial (PCHIP)

It works perfectly

x = [5.8808    6.5137    7.1828    7.8953];   
y = [31.2472 33.9977 36.7661 39.3567];
pp = pchip(x,y);

You could draw a picture

xs = linspace(5, 8, 200);
ys = ppval(pp, xs);
plot(xs, ys, 'b-', x, y, 'ro')

Or test the function values

ppval(pp, x) - y

MATLAB: How to perform the Chow test using MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)

There is no function in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b) that may be used to perform the Chow test.

As a workaround, you may download 'chow_test.m' from a set of subroutines (Weak form market efficiency tests) available at MATLAB Central that may be used to perform the requisite test:
