MATLAB: Structure of Strings

Question

Hi!

I want to specify possible parameters for the naive bayes classifier. For this reason, I have created a structure with a field for each parameter and a matrix with possible values.

bayesPosParams.distribution = ['normal'; 'kernel'];    
bayesPosParams.prior = ['empirical'; 'uniform'];       
bayesPosParams.KSWidth = 'scalar';                   
bayesPosParams.KSSupport = ['unbounded'; 'positive'];

Unfortunately that does not work: ??? Error using ==> vertcat CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent.

All Strings need to have the same length. What would be the best possibility to specify the parameters nice and consistently?

Thanks in advance, Jay

bayesPosParams.distribution = {'normal'; 'kernel'};    
bayesPosParams.prior = {'empirical'; 'uniform'};       
bayesPosParams.KSWidth = 'scalar';                   
bayesPosParams.KSSupport = {'unbounded'; 'positive'};
