Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

In that web page, "Associate" is used in its verb form, not its noun or adjective form. It is the form that you would use if you have purchased a MATLAB license and you wish to connect your MATLAB Community profile with the license. When your Community profile is connected ("associated") with a current license then you get more access to documentation.

The varieties of license available for purchase from Mathworks are Student Version (for registered students only); Academic (for staff and faculty of academic institutions); Home (for hobby use); and Commercial (sometimes called Professional) for all other uses. As well those who are registered in online MOOC courses might have MATLAB licenses available to them during the course.

Dear Said,

Walter, as impressive as your credit is, you did not refer Said or any reader of this QA to the kind of licence sought by the question.

Said or any reader, please give me a thumbs-up click on the vote link above if you find this answer useful, it doesn't happen every day that someone with my modest credit can correct some one like Walter Robertson, thanks in advance:

The term ' associate', in MATHWORKS, is either used as verb referring to the association of terms, whatever, or as the status that MATHWORKS grants to some MATLAB and SIMULINK users, giving advantages listed here: <https://www.mathworks.com/licensecenter/workflows/associate_license?s_tid=srchtitle>

MATHWORKS schedules tests all over the world at specific dates and places, most of the places are universities with strong MATLAB & SIMULINK association.

There are 2 levels of exams, the Associate, and the Professional. Check the following links

MATLAB & SIMULINK Associate scheduled tests: <https://www.mathworks.com/training-schedule/certifications/show/mathworks-certified-matlab-associate-exam?s_tid=srchtitle>

MATLAB & SIMULINK Profesional Scheduled tests: <https://www.mathworks.com/training-schedule/certifications/show/mathworks-certified-matlab-professional-exam?s_tid=srchtitle>

Please bear in mind that there is no better certification than a good employer paying you good salary for your work.

The term 'licence' (American 'license') is used to give a concise term to the achievers passing such tests, but it's not a legal licence/license, like those issued by government and professional accreditation bodies endorsed by governments, licences/licenses like those issued by NEC, IEC, .. pilot schools, driver schools, medical schools. Such legal licenses are a compulsory accreditation to be allowed by authority to practice a profession. Professionals holding a legal licence may suffer penalties if failing to apply expected professional solutions to problems faced. Holding a legal licence implies you know all you need to know and you have to solve problems the right way. MATHWORKS licence is a performance achievement but it is not legally binding.

An employer can expect an engineer to be able to solve a problem because of experience and legal certifications achieved, but not because of having passed a MATHWORKS certification. An employer can sack an employee, or a client can sue a provider, when failing to comply with technical standards that holders of legal licences have to be proficient through and through. MATHWORKS tests are not driving licences, are like CompTIA A+ N+ .. highly regarded throughout industry, but there is a lot more homework, driving hours, hits to give and take before remotely being considered for one of the few $150k/year engineering salaries currently around, in a way to speak.

MATLAB & SIMULINK is already pervasive to all Science disciplines, yet there are points to solve, like making coders and compilers available along with the interpreter, the same way VC++ and many other IDE tools offer end-to-end solutions in a single pack. That would really give MATLAB the edge against other languages that MATLAB users have to end up using to compile and build stand-alone applications, if not having purchased the right toolboxes.

Mathworks offers training courses, that obviously, put candidates on the right track, and it's understandable that students taking Mathworks courses have better chances to pass associate and professional tests.

Having said all this, there are a few test questions to warm up, a tiny cross section of the broad range that tests may put candidates through.

Q2.-

% visualizing data
% 1st column: video length in minutes
% 2nd column: amount times video has been viewed
% 3rd column: total amount times viewers spent watching video

% Questions:

% Load the saved viewership data into the MATLAB workspace. 

% Create the column vector viewPct containing the percentage viewed for each variable according to the formula: Percentage viewed = (Minutes watched / Views) / (Video length).
% Create vectors containing the percentage viewed for short (Video length < 1.5), medium (1.5 <= Video length <= 2.25), and long (Video length > 2.25) videos). 

% Calculate the average of the values contained in the vectors from the previous step, and store the results in the variables shortPct, medPct, and longPct respectively.

load viewdata.mat

viewPct=(viewdata(:,3)./viewdata(:,1))./viewdata(:,2))  % same as (viewdata(:,3)./viewdata(:,1))./viewdata(:,2)

VideoLength=viewdata(:,1)
Views=viewdata(:,2)
MinutesWatched=viewdata(:,3)

shorts=find(VideoLength<1.5)           % contains what videos are shorts
longs=find(VideoLength>2.25)          % contains what videos are longs
AmountVideos=length(VideoLength)
index=[1:1:AmountVideos]
shortsnlongs=[shorts; longs]
index(shortsnlongs)=[]
midsz=index                                    % contains what videos are midsize

viewPct_shorts=viewPct(shorts)      %  [ 0.80 0.83 0.81 0.77 0.86 0.79 ]
viewPct_longs=viewPct(longs)         %  [ 0.72 0.82 0.85 0.77 0.80 0.76 ]
viewPct_midsz=viewPct(midsz)        % [ 0.78 0.74 0.72  0.74 0.78 0.71 0.76 ]

shortPct=mean(viewPct_shorts)    % shortPct =       0.81
medPct=mean(viewPct_midsz)      % medPct =       0.74
longPct=mean(viewPct_longs)       % longPct =        0.79

Q3.-

load TData.mat
x0=min(x);x1=max(x);y0=min(y);y1=max(y)
x_step=1;y_step=1
x_range=[x0:x_step:x1]
y_range=[y0:y_step:y1]
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x_range,y_range)
Tq=griddata(x,y,T,X,Y,'v4')
contour(X,Y,Tq,'ShowText','on','TextStep',1)
% contour(X,Y,Tq,'ShowText','on','TextStep',1,'LevelStep',1)
contour(X,Y,Tq,'ShowText','on','TextStep',1,'LevelStep',1,'LevelList',[-5:5])
hold all;plot(x,y,'bo')

% on attempting contour(X,Y,Tq,9,'ShowText','on','TextStep',1,'LevelStep',1)
% the amount of contours takes preference by changing spacing between
% adjacent contours to amounts different than 1

Please feel free to let me know any solutions you write or find to the other professional test questions in the link above, or any other preparation documents available to those preparing for Mathworks tests.
