function Status = IsAlmostEqual(varargin)
% IsAlmostEqual: Tests if arrays are almost equal, i.e., the absolute difference
%                is less than 0.00001. If the number of inputs exceeds 2, then the
%                function is the same is the isequal function in matlab.
%
% USAGE:
%
%       Status = IsAlmostEqual(x1,x2,...)
%
% REQUIRED INPUT:  x1 (matrix) of dimension T1xK1.
%
%                  x2 (matrix) of diemsnion T2xK2.
%
% OPTIONAL INPUT:  x3 (matrix) of dimension T3xK3, etc.
%
% REQUIRED OUTPUT: Status (boolean) that takes on the value 1 if all the inputs are almost
%                         equal and 0 otherwise.
