• Datastore : A data store is a digital repository that stores and safeguards the information in computer systems. A data store can be network-connected storage, distributed cloud storage, a physical hard drive, or virtual storage.
• Confusion Matrix: It is a matrix containing information about the actual and predicted classes. The matrix is two-dimensional and has as many rows and columns as there are classes. The columns represent the true classifications and the rows represent the system classifications.
• Matrix: A two-dimensional array of numbers, which is the fundamental data type in MATLAB, used for mathematical computations.
• Array: A collection of elements (numbers, characters, etc.) organized in one or more dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D).
• Function: A block of code that performs a specific task, defined with the function keyword, which can take inputs and return outputs.
• Script: A file containing a sequence of MATLAB commands that are executed together, typically without input/output arguments.
• Plotting: The process of creating visual representations of data, using functions like plot, scatter, and bar.
• Handle: A reference to a graphics…
