Input Arguments

collapse all

Instrument variable containing a collection of instruments, specified as InstSet structure. Instruments are classified by type; each type can have different data fields. The stored data field is a row vector or character vector for each instrument.

Data Types: struct

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: InstSet = instaddfield('Type','Option','FieldName',{'Strike','Price','Opt'},'Data',{Strike,CallP,'Call'})

Name of each data field for an instrument, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FieldName' and an NFIELDS-by-1 cell array of character vectors.

Data Types: char | cell

Data contents for each field, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Data' and an NINST-by-M array or NFIELDS-by-1 cell array.

Data Types: double | cell

Data class of each field, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FieldClass' and an NFIELDS-by-1 cell array of character vectors.

Data Types: char | cell

Type of instrument added, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Type' and a character vector. Instruments of different types can have different FieldName collections.

Data Types: char

Output Arguments
