To find the error of a 2-column data set using repeated Simpson's rule in Matlab, you can use the following code:
main.m772 chars20 lines
This code uses the composite Simpson's rule error formula, which gives an approximation of the error as:
main.m43 chars2 lines
where f(x) is the function being integrated (in this case, y), and h is the step size used in the repeated Simpson's rule. The diff function is used here to calculate the first derivative of y, which is used to find the maximum value of f''(x) over the interval [a, b].
