integrate a 2 column data set using repeat simpsons rule in matlab

To integrate a 2 column data set using the repeat simpsons rule in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Load the data set into MATLAB as a matrix, where the first column contains the x-values and the second row contains the corresponding y-values. Let's assume the data set is called data.

2. Calculate the number of intervals (n) using the formula n = length(data(:,1)) - 1.

3. Determine whether n is odd or even. If n is odd, drop the last point.

4. Apply the repeat Simpsons' rule formula to calculate the integral as shown below:

main.m
a = data(1,1);  % first x-value
b = data(end,1);  % last x-value
h = (b-a)/n;  % interval width

% Sum of first and last terms
sum1 = data(1,2) + data(end,2);  

% Sum of even terms
sum2 = sum(data(3:2:n-2,2));

% Sum of odd terms
sum3 = sum(data(2:2:n-1,2));

% Final integration result using repeat Simpsons' rule
integral = (h/3) * (sum1 + 4*sum3 + 2*sum2);

This will give you the integral of the 2 column data set using the repeat Simpsons' rule in MATLAB.

Note: This integration method assumes that the data points are evenly spaced. If they are not, you will need to use a different integration method.
