Error in using rmoutliers()

Dear All,

I was read rmoutliers documentation carefully and want to use it in order to remove outliers' values in a matrix (namely FORCHECK). Actually I choose rmoutliers because rmoutliers detect outliers in each column or variable of A separately and removes the entire row.

Here is my code:

FFF = rmoutliers(FORCHECK,'percentiles',[0 90]);

I wanted to define outlier points as the point that is above the 90th percentile. But I got this error:

Error using matlab.internal.math.rmMissingOutliersVarargin>issueError
(line 137)
Dimension must be 1 or 2.
Error in matlab.internal.math.rmMissingOutliersVarargin>getDim (line

        issueError(funName,'DimensionInvalid');

opts = parseInputs(funName,A,varargin{:});
Error in rmoutliers (line 58)
[B,I] =
matlab.internal.math.rmMissingOutliers('rmoutliers',A,varargin{:}); 

How can I do?

The 'percentiles' option for rmoutliers, isoutlier, and filloutliers was introduced in release R2019a. You indicated you're using release R2018b, one release before that.

Running this

load FORCHECK.mat

FFF = rmoutliers(FORCHECK,'percentiles',[0 90]);

worked just fine for me.

Maybe just restart MATLAB, in case you somehow have some other FORCHECK defined in your workspace?

Dear the cyclist,

As you said I restarted Matlab and even use clear all, but still I get this error:

I don't know what to do !
