collapse()

Collapses the inner independent variable and returns one dimensional data

Syntax
y = collapse(x)

Arguments

Name	Description	Range	Type	Required
x	multi-dimensional data to be collapsed (dimension is larger than one and less than four)	(-∞, ∞)	integer, real, complex	yes

Examples

Given monte carlo analysis results for the S11 of a transmission line:
It is two-dimensional data: the outer sweep is mcTrial; the inner sweep is the frequency from 100 MHz to 300 MHz and is given in the following format:

mcTrial	freq	S11
1	100MHz	0.2
	200MHz	0.4
	300MHz	0.6
2	100MHz	0.3
	200MHz	0.5
	300MHz	0.7

Returns a one dimensional data with mcTrail, containing all of the previous data.
collapsed_S11 = collapse(S11)

mcTrial		S11
1		0.2
1		0.4
1		0.6
2		0.3
2		0.5
2		0.7

Notes/Equations

The collapse() function cannot be used to convert a matrix into an array or vector. Use the expand() function instead.
