I want to compute a numerical integration problem, the code for which is as follows
mu=0;
sig2_tmp=1;
k=100;
samps=normrnd(mu,sig2_tmp,[k,1]);
func=@(x)prod(normpdf(samps,mu,x));
c(j)=integral(func,0,inf);
It gives the following error message:
Error using normpdf (line 36)
Non-scalar arguments must match in size.
Error in @(x)prod(normpdf(samps,mu,x))
But when I evaluate func at x=1, it works fine. So, I don't know how to fix this error.
Please help.

Does it make sense to integrate the pdf's over the standard deviation ?
In any case:
Try
func=@(x)prod(normpdf(samps,ones(size(x))*mu,x));
Best wishes
Torsten.

This code works for me:
function main
mu=0;
sig2_tmp=1;
k=100;
samps=randn(k,1);
samps=mu+sig2_tmp*samps;
func=@(x)prod(normpdf_gnu(samps,mu,x));
c=integral(func,0,inf)
end
function p = normpdf_gnu(x,m,s);
% NORMPDF returns normal probability density
%
% pdf = normpdf(x,m,s);
%
% Computes the PDF of a the normal distribution
% with mean m and standard deviation s
% default: m=0; s=1;
% x,m,s must be matrices of same size, or any one can be a scalar.
