Maniputalting data to input in a function.

I have a function for entropy. I need to test data in the form of table (19 rows and 1359 columns). I need to know in what form is the input in the following function supposed to be. And how do i manipulate my input data(in the form of a table) to use in this function.

The following is the function :

function [e]=fpermentr(vstup)
  y=vstup;
  sd = std(y);
  y = (y-mean(y))/sd;
  ly = length(y);

    ord = 4;
    permlist = perms(1:ord);
    c(1:length(permlist))=0;

    for j=1:ly-ord
        [a,iv]=sort(y(j:j+ord-1));
        for jj=1:length(permlist)
            if (abs(permlist(jj,:)-iv))==0
                c(jj) = c(jj) + 1 ;
            end
        end
    end

    p = max(1/ly,c/(ly-ord));
    e = -sum(p .* log(p))/(ord-1);
  end

[EDITED] Also in which form will i get the output?

If you get a function, which does not define the input and output in the help text and which does not contain any comments, this function is not usable. A reliable method to handle this is either asking the author for a well documented code, or to delete the file.

Using a function based on guessing its features is a bad idea. It is like driving a car, at night, with switched off light, and sunglasses, and backwards, but looking to front.

Sorry for the lack of help in this answer. I want to support your reliable programming techniques.
