Using functions from R2020b in R2019a

Hello!

I would like to use the function groupNormalizationLayer (introduced in R2020b) in my neural network. However, I am constrained to using MATLAB R2019a in order to keep compatability with other parts of my software written in MATLAB R2019a. Since I also own MATLAB 2020b, would it be possible to import this function as an external script into R2019a in some way?

No, MATLAB functions introduced in a later release cannot be used in an older release. There may be several other dependencies, which will most probably, not be possible to fulfill in an older release. The only option is to use the latest release.
