for each method, use calculations to test whether the accuracy of the method is o(h) or o(h2 ) or something els in matlab

To test the time complexity of a method using calculations in MATLAB, you can use a for loop to iterate over different values of the input size (h) and measure the execution time of the method for each input size. By plotting the execution time against the input size, you can analyze the trend and determine the time complexity.

To analyze whether the time complexity is O(h) or O(h^2) or something else, you can calculate the ratio of the execution time for two consecutive input sizes. If this ratio remains constant (or nearly constant) as the input size increases, the time complexity is likely O(h). If the ratio increases significantly as the input size increases, the time complexity is likely O(h^2).

Here's an example demonstrating this approach:

main.m
% Example method  --> Replace with your own method
function result = myMethod(input)
    % Perform some calculations
    result = input^2;
end

% Initialize arrays to store execution time and input size
executionTime = zeros(1, 100);
inputSize = zeros(1, 100);

% Change the range and step size according to your needs
for i = 1:100
    input = i;  % Set the input size
    tic;        % Start timer
    myMethod(input);
    executionTime(i) = toc; % Record execution time
    inputSize(i) = input;   % Record input size
end

% Calculate the execution time ratio
executionTimeRatio = executionTime(2:end) ./ executionTime(1:end-1);

% Plot the execution time ratio against input size
plot(inputSize(2:end), executionTimeRatio);
xlabel('Input Size');
ylabel('Execution Time Ratio');

By analyzing the plot, you can determine the time complexity based on the trend. If the execution time ratio remains constant, the time complexity is likely O(h). If the execution time ratio increases linearly, the time complexity is likely O(h^2).

Remember to replace myMethod with your own method that you want to analyze the time complexity of.

Note: This approach assumes that the execution time of the method scales linearly with the input size (h). In practice, the method's implementation and other factors may affect the results, so make sure to analyze the trend generated by your specific method and adjust the range and step size accordingly.
