What is minfo in matlab?

Can you explain me what this program is all about and why is the minfo used ?

A = xlsread('C:\Users\test\Downloads\100 genes.xlsx');

[MI,P,Q,R,S,T,U] = minfo(A,0,[],0,[]);

xlswrite('C:\Users\test\Downloads\MI100.xlsx',MI);

There is no "minfo" supplied with MATLAB or any of the toolboxes.

There is, however, minfo as a part of a few different File Exchange contributions, including this one

[Tom]

in R2012a it's listed in a folder marked 'obsolete', so it must have been phased out recently.

May I mention, that Walter has answered this question some years ago already. See http://www.mathworks.de/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/159628. Asking an internet search engine before letting the contributors type in new answers is a friendly idea.

I had long forgotten that earlier question. It does explain why the routine name seemed a little familiar, though.

The minfo of that old old toolbox was to be called with a single argument, whereas the sample code is called with five arguments. I do not find any minfo with 5 arguments even in the FEX. The minfo I thought I found turned out to be a .mat file rather than code.

I would therefore say that it seems likely that minfo is a locally-provided routine.

Thank You Walter Roberson for answering my question and Thank You Jan Simon for letting me know about it . Next time I would ask the search engine before I post .
