MATLAB: Too many input arguments

Question

Im using prctile() to find the 70th percentile of 1300 elements, but matlab returns error too many input arguments. How can i fix this? Thanks

Answer 1

The first input to prctile must be numeric (double or single). So your cell array will need to be converted to numeric. You wrote that TM is a cell array, but you have not given us any description of how the data is arranged inside that cell array. This makes it hard to help you, as we have to guess.

If TM is a cell array that contains scalar numeric data in each cell of the seventh column, then try this:

prctile(cell2mat(TM(:,7)),70)
