Fudge Factor in Matlab

Question

Hello,

Can anyone enlighten me about the use of fudgeFactor in Matlab? Thanks.

Answer 1

It is possible that fudgeFactor is a function or variable specific to your application or code base. It does not appear to be a built-in MATLAB feature.

Answer 2

>>which fudgeFactor

This will tell you where that function resides

>>edit fudgeFactor

This will show you the MATLAB file. It is not in any standard install of MATLAB.

Answer 3

If it's well-documented,

will display the documentation. Couldn't hurt to try!

Answer 4

A "fudge factor" is engineering slang for the number that you multiply your calculated result by in order to get the answer you wanted!
