Hi Alessandro,
To address your first question, the Shuffle function in MATLAB typically shuffles the elements of an array along a specified dimension. In this case, using Y = Shuffle(X, Dim) would shuffle the elements along the specified dimension (Dim) while leaving the other dimensions untouched. Therefore, if you use Y = Shuffle(X, 1), it would shuffle the rows of your UITable while keeping the columns intact.
Regarding your second question about using RANDPERM(LENGTH(X)) as shown in the documentation, this approach is commonly used to shuffle the rows of an array or table. By applying this function to the indices of your table rows, you can achieve row shuffling effectively. To implement this, you can create a new table with shuffled rows by indexing X with RANDPERM(LENGTH(X)).
So, in order to shuffle the rows of your UITable while keeping columns together and shuffling a categorical variable along with numerical values, you can either use the Shuffle function with a specified dimension or apply RANDPERM(LENGTH(X)) to shuffle the rows directly. Experimenting with these methods will help you achieve the desired shuffling effect in your table. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
