1.1 Link for Downloading MATLAB-2

To download MATLAB go to the following page:

http://program.ddg.lth.se/en/ Links to an external site.

After you have logged in with your LU account, there is a header named "Quick instruction" and a file called installation/activation guide. Follow the instructions in "Quick instruction" and  the installation/activation guide to download MATLAB. 

 

Once you come to  the "PRODUCTS" step in the installation (see picture below), some standard toolboxes are automatically preselected. Aside from them, it is also recommended that you download the following six toolboxes:

1)Statistics and Machine learning
2)Econometrics 
3)Signal processing 
4)System Identification 
5)Wavelet Toolbox 
6)Optimization 

To follow this course, you only need 1) Statistics and Machine learning, but if you continue your study of Mathematical Statistics beyond the basic course you will need the other packages as well.  For instance, 4) is used in Time series analysis.

Once you have installed MATLAB (or had it installed from before), it is easy to check what version you have and which Toolboxes you have installed. You simply write the command ver in the Command Window. In next video I go through the ver command and explain how to install Toolboxes.
