Finding MATLAB Source Code And Tools
Having read this log so far, you're probably pretty impressed, but thinking, "This is great stuff- really great stuff, but where else can I find MATLAB source code and tools for data mining?" There are four basic sources:
1. General Web Search Engines
Try searching for a combination of things:
Language:
MATLAB
"MATLAB source"
MATLAB AND "source code"
Algorithms:
backpropagation
"linear discriminant"
"neural network"
Some college professors give away high-quality material (papers and code) for free! This group of key phrases will help turn them up:
"course notes"
"course readings"
"lecture notes"
"syllabus"
Don't just use Google. I have found these search engines to be useful:
A9
AlltheWeb
Alta Vista
Devilfinder
Dogpile
Ixquick
Lycos
2. MATLAB Central
3. Source Code Repositories
4. Toolboxes
Commercial toolboxes are definitely the most expensive route to take, but there are free versions as well. This list is certainly not exhaustive.
