pandas.shift(1) equivalent in matlab in matlab

In MATLAB, there is no direct equivalent for the pandas.shift(1) function in Pandas. However, you can achieve similar functionality using indexing and shifting.

Here's an example of how you can shift a column in MATLAB:

main.m
% Create a sample matrix
data = [1; 2; 3; 4; 5];

% Shift the column by 1
shifted_data = [NaN; data(1:end-1)];

% Display the original and shifted data
disp([data, shifted_data]);
180 chars
9 lines

This will output:

main.m
     1     NaN
     2     1
     3     2
     4     3
     5     4
67 chars
6 lines

In the example above, NaN is used to pad the first element of the shifted column. You can replace NaN with any value you prefer.

Please note that this example assumes you are shifting a single column. If you have multiple columns, you will need to perform the shifting operation separately for each column.
