Re: Merging Data

If you are using dataset arrays from the Statistics Toolbox, then I
think you want to do an outer join, using lon and lat as the key variables:
>> d3 = join(d1,d2,'Type','outer','Keys',{'lon' 'lat'},'MergeKeys',true)
d3 =
lon lat x1 x2
-180 90 0.47757384 0.178041266
-179.9 90 0.064759965 NaN
-179.8 90 0.729165056 NaN
-179.7 90 0.995015965 NaN
-179.6 90 0.970115665 NaN
-179.5 90 0.299555583 NaN
-179.4 90 0.261979872 NaN
-179.3 90 0.786517018 NaN
-179.2 90 0.628835449 NaN
-179.1 90 0.068506162 NaN
-179 90 0.154043527 0.349792078
-178 90 NaN 0.463907651
-177 90 NaN 0.511614411
-176 90 NaN 0.0729513
-175 90 NaN 0.713571611
-174 90 NaN 0.009430638
-173 90 NaN 0.528177669
-172 90 NaN 0.747954951
-171 90 NaN 0.731053422
-170 90 NaN 0.24842768
BUT: using floating point values as keys is equivalent to testing exact
equality in floating point, which is fraught with problems.
