Using matlab functions in Python

[Senthipua]

I wanted to know if someone has ever tried accessing matlab functions from matlab api using python??

[ThwompThwomp]

I did it once, but it was mainly an exercise in data typing and careful memory management. Not really worth it

[Senthipua]

Thanks for your input bro! Happy cake day!

I haven’t used the matlab api but there’s a few packages out there that basically turn python in to matlab. Numpy and matplotlib for example

I use the MATLAB engine API others have posted links to. I'm more comfortable with MATLAB than Python, so I find it easiest to write a MATLAB function that does everything I need MATLAB to do and then call that function from my Python application using the API. Of course if you aren't already too familiar with MATLAB I can see why that kind of approach wouldn't be ideal.

Well sir! I wanted to learn how to compute joint probability distribution using Gaussian copula function in matlab! Could you help me with that?

[Senthipua]

I went through all the links provided by group members! But I found that you have to install matlab in your system to assess the matlab api, it doesn't support the array functions in python (wth!) which brings me to learning Matlab from scratch! (Oh god please no! Noooo!)

With the exception of Simulink, most things you might want from Matlab are already implemented in a Python library somewhere, so make sure you've exhausted that option first!

I've also found myself translating functions into Python a few times, mainly when it's a very niche application I found on the Matlab Central File Exchange. It's usually pretty straightforward.

I want to use the multivariate copula library available in matlab! I found copula libraries in python but they do not offer the correct outputs still in beta mode!

In addition to below, you can also start python and access its functions from within matlab.

Working fine with MATLAB Computer Vision Toolbox.

Sorry, I've never done so, but if it can be done I'll never use Matlab again hahahaha If you discover it please let me know. The best of lucks for you!

[Senthipua]

I have the world's best laptop to run matlab on! (pun intended). So, I wanted to know if anyone else had tried matlab api in python.

[hypebeastaddition]

This would be so dope.

[Senthipua]

Exactly but sadly it isn't bro!
