Introduction 
In this project I have chosen a dataset which is titled "unemployment.csv".  

• This dataset is taken from Kaggle.com.  

• In this project using MATLAB we have to find the mean and median of the dataset, 
max and min values, and plotting the graphs for each element. Moreover, we will find 
the standard deviation, variance and covariance of the dataset.  

• At the end we do the histogram and fast fourier transform

First step: Importing the dataset into MATLAB​

Using the command ​ ​B=xlsread(‘unemployment.csv’)​ ​we load the dataset

into Matlab

Mean and mean of mean

​ ith the command ​mean(B)​ we find the means of each column
● W
separately. ​
● ​mean(mean(B)) ​we find the mean for all the dataset​

We plot the graphs​

Max and Min​

● The command max(B), will display the max value for

every column separately. max(max(A)) displays the
max value of the dataset.​
● The same logic will be applied to find the min value.
The commands used: min(A), min(min(A))
