function [SAPS_SCORE]=saps_score(varargin)
% [SAPS_SCORE]=saps_score(tm,category,val,truncated)
%
% Calculates SAPS scores. Variables are:
%
%tm      - (Nx1 Cell Array) Cell array containing time of measurement
%category- (Nx1 Cell Array) Cell array containing type (category)
%           measurement
%value   - (Nx1 Cell Array) Cell array containing value of measurement
%truncated - (Logical) Optional flag, if true, will attempt to calculate
%             "truncated" SAPS even if some of the input variables are
%             missing. Default is 0 (false) .
% SAP_SCORE - (Scalar) Value between 0 and 56 representing the severity of
%             the patient's status (higher scores are worse).  A NaN
%             value is returned along with a warning message if the SAPS
%             score cannot be calculated.

This time I edited your question for you. Next time, please use the tools explained on this page to make your question more readable.

This is a horrible way to assign the inputs. This code is also not dealing with too few input arguments.

How did you call this code?

[Fawad Ahmad]

which argumens ???? you ask.

[Rik]

If you do this:

plot(1:10,sqrt(1:10))

Then 1:10 and sqrt(1:10) are the input arguments.

How are you calling this function?

[Image Analyst]

When you did this

>> SAPS_SCORE = saps_score(blah, blah, blah, blah);

what did you pass in for the blah's?

[Fawad Ahmad]

%Calculate SAPS SCORE

truncated=1; %Attempt to calculate SAPS even if some variables are missing

[SAPS_SCORE]=saps_score(time,param,value,truncated);
