I need to use sum series in some assignments. But don't know the syntax
I'm just trying to write sum series as below
Code
k = sum(i^2, i = 1..4)
But I'm getting this error message
The expression to the left of the equals sign is not a valid target for an assignment.

The documentation for MATLAB is really rather good, and includes lots of complete, working examples:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/sum.html
You should look at it one day. Looking at the documentation would immediately give a much better idea of how to use the function max than just inventing some syntax. After all, the people who wrote that function are probably the best ones to describe how it can be used.

I'm providing another solution to address the longer summation you have posted in my first answer. Please let me know if this suits your needs:
data = load('ex1data1.txt');
y = data(:, 2);
m = length(y);
X = [ones(m, 1), data(:,1)];
theta = zeros(2,1);
i=1:m;
J=sum(((theta(1)+theta(2).*X(i,2))-y(i)).^2)
Best,
Jonathan

Ohh little mistake, forgot to multiply the whole expression with "(1/(2*m))"

I apologize for the mistake, and I'm glad you found it even though I was away.

If you want to use a for loop, try this:
theSum = 0;
for i = 1 : 4
theSum = theSum + i ^ 2;
end
Or if you want a vectorized solution, try this:
i = 1 : 4;
theSum = sum(i .^ 2)

Here's the complete code I'm using
data = load('ex1data1.txt');
% 'ex1data1.txt' text file containing list of numbers in two
% columns separated by commas
y = data(:, 2); % Storing column 2 of text file in vector array y
m = length(y);
X = [ones(m, 1), data(:,1)];
% Storing column 1 of text file in vector array X and appending all 1's
% column to the vector array
theta = zeros(2,1);
J = symsum(((theta(1)+theta(2)*X(i,2))-y(i))^2, i, 1, m)

OK, but that looks totally different than your original post where you mentioned nothing about y, m, X, J, data, or theta. All you mentioned was "i" and the sum that you called "k".
I don't have any symbolic toolboxes. Is that a requirement that you do it that way rather than the simple numerical way?

Hello Atinesh
syms i %Creat symbolic variable 'i'
symsum(i^2, i, 1, 4) %Use symsum to run your summation operation
Best regards,

Hello Jonathan Campelli, It worked but actually I've to write this below series
While using the code below
J = symsum(((theta(1)+theta(2)*X(i,2))-y(i))^2, i, 1, m)
I'm getting new error message
_Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.
Error in Test (line 7) J = symsum(((theta(1)+theta(2)*X(i,2))-y(i))^2, i, 1, m)_

I am unable to call X(i) using symsum. If you are able, Image Analyst has provided vectorized computations that are a lot cleaner.
