Statistics in Matlab, what are methods?

Hello All,

would you be so kind, can you please advise me, how can I do statistics (and what) when I have text data loaded in Matlab? I want to compare data through drawing axes in graph. I know when I have numeric data I can do max, min, and so on, but when I have text data....what I shout do?

The Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox has many functions that deal with tables, and you can have categorical names/labels in a column of the table and many functions can deal with those. Do you have something specific in mind? Give us an actual example.

I will do data mining in Matlab. But before that I need visualize data, detect max and min value, medium, modus and so on. But I need to do it in GUIDE. But I have mixed data...numeric and text data.....I need to see what is influence each variable to other I would like to show in graph variables loading into GUIDE (through button Load). After loading data, names of columns are in pop-up menu. But when I select some name of columns nothing is shown in graph, any axes. Could you help me with my problem, please?......after that i will do min, max value of data...and so on...some statistics....
