"Shadowing" occurs when there are two functions within the path. When calling such a function, the first in the path will be used and the second one is not accessible. > The performance is enhanced or the other way? My understanding is that shadowing per se does not have any significant influence on the performence. However, the different implementations might differ. The idea of the NaN-toolbox is that missing values encoded as nan's are "ignored" or skipped. For statistical functions, this is the behavior you typically want. Internally, it requires an additional check for isnan, which can cause some performance penalty. However, the NaN-toolbox does also some smart data handling such that these effects are mitigated. However, the user of NaN-toolbox gets a proper answer, even if some values are missing, he/she does not need to worry about how to deal with missing values, and perhaps get it wrong.
