% show dataset
subplot(2,2,1);
imagesc(ds.samples,[-4 4])

subplot(2,2,2);
hist(ds.samples(:),10)
xlim([-6 6]);
%% Split the dataset by chunks
%%%% >>> Your code here <<< %%%%
nsplits=numel(splits);
% allocate space for output
outputs=cell(nsplits,1);
% treat each element in splits seperately, and subtract the mean for each
% feature seperately
for k=1:nsplits
d=splits{k};
%%%% >>> Your code here <<< %%%%
% store output
outputs{k}=d;

% note: the samples in the output are in a different order than the input,
% but otherwise the same
demeaner=@(x)bsxfun(@minus,x,mean(x,1)); % function handle as helper
