How to attach variables in a dataset to the current workspace?

Hi all,

As you may know, the Matlab statistics package has been improved significantly recently. Now, it is somehow similar to R, which makes data analysis much more convenient than before.

For statistical analysis, the basic data organization form is a dataset array. However, not all functions support dataset array. In R, a command "attach" can be called to attach the variables in a dataset to the current workspace. Namely, if an "x" is a variable contained in the dataset "ds". After calling "attach(ds)", "x" also appears as an independent variable in the current workspace. I am wondering whether there is a similar Maltab command that achieves this goal.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Ye
