Hi, I'm new to Matlab and I have some questions regarding data alignment. I've seen similar questions already, like this one:
https://es.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/429858-how-to-align-multiple-datasets
So in my case I also want to align two datasets but values are not totally similar, so I would like to know if there is a script that allows me to align datasets but adding some relative deviation. For example, I want to align values of 13.0 with values ranging from 12.5 to 13.5 (13.0+-0.5). Is this possible?
Thank you very much in advance

What form are your data in? Like a set of (x,y,z) point coordinates? Did you try a web search for "point set matching"

My data are in tables of 3 columns. One of the columns have values ranging from 100 to 1000 but they are not identical, they can vary in a 0.05 value and I would like to know how to tell the program that I admit this variation (for example, that I want to consider 100.00 and 100.05 as the same value.

Ran in:
Without seeing a bit more detailed of an example, it's not easy to recommend the best path forward. But you could consider creating a copy of your data with rounded or binned values that you use for alignment, and then use the aligned indices to recover the original data of the alignment.
Here's a quick example:
% create example arrays to be aligned
idx1 = [1 2 3.05 3.95 5]';
idx2 = [2 3.01 4.03]';
A = array2table([idx1, randn(size(idx1))])
A = 5×2 table
Var1 Var2 ____ ________ 1 -2.4681 2 0.63173 3.05 1.2528 3.95 1.1205 5 -0.41651
B = array2table([idx2, randn(size(idx2))])
B = 3×2 table
Var1 Var2 ____ _______ 2 -1.0419 3.01 0.15861 4.03 -0.7413
% round the arrays
idx1_rounded = round(idx1);
idx2_rounded = round(idx2);
A_rounded = A;
A_rounded.Var1 = idx1_rounded
A_rounded = 5×2 table
Var1 Var2 ____ ________ 1 -2.4681 2 0.63173 3 1.2528 4 1.1205 5 -0.41651
B_rounded = B;
B_rounded.Var1 = idx2_rounded
B_rounded = 3×2 table
Var1 Var2 ____ _______ 2 -1.0419 3 0.15861 4 -0.7413
% align the arrays
result = outerjoin(A_rounded, B_rounded, 'Keys', [1,1])
result = 5×4 table
Var1_A_rounded Var2_A_rounded Var1_B_rounded Var2_B_rounded ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ 1 -2.4681 NaN NaN 2 0.63173 2 -1.0419 3 1.2528 3 0.15861 4 1.1205 4 -0.7413 5 -0.41651 NaN NaN
