FWIW the syllabus says analysis of data grouped by one or two categorical variables, so it’s probably doable with GLM (but then some fields have very specific requirements on how to do ANOVA and which statistics to report as Tamas hinted at, so the usual statistical tests are just linear models defense might sometimes not cut it).
I also think that MATLAB is an odd choice for this syllabus, when there are so many alternatives much more geared towards this (R, Stata, SPSS, SAS, EViews, LIMDEP, JMulTi…). I can’t remember anyone at the econ department where I did my PhD using MATLAB to do this kind of basic stats/econometrics.
