How can I Integrate on an array with respect to another array

I want to integrate an array which is, acceleration, with respect to another array, which is time to get velocity, then integrate the velocity array with respect to time again to position. Does anyone know how I can do this? Any help will be appreciated thanks.

To integrate data sets use the trapz or cumtrapz functions.

If you had functions to integrate use the integral family of functions.

Both the time and acceleration arrays are functions. Could you explain to me how I would use the integral function to integrate acceleration with respect to time?

[Torsten]

Before speculating what you mean by "Both the time and acceleration arrays are functions.", you should give us an example.

Apologies for the confusion. Time is defined as timeFP1 = FPData1(:,3); which is reading the csv file of Force data 1 and getting the time column. Acceleration is defined as accel1 = (GRF1 / totalMass_kg) - gravity; which is being calculated as Force / Mass - gravity constant. Hope this helps

When I say "data sets" and "functions" I mean variables and function handles.

Integrating data:

x = 1:10;
y = x.^2;
integrateDataSet1 = trapz(x, y) 

integrateDataSet1 = 334.5000

integrateDataSet2 = cumtrapz(x, y)

integrateDataSet2 = 1x10

0 2.5000 9.0000 21.5000 42.0000 72.5000 115.0000 171.5000 244.0000 334.5000

Integrating functions:

f = @(x) x.^2;
integrateFunction = integral(f, 1, 10)

integrateFunction = 333
