I use matlab 2016a , I know that the command (detectImportOptions) does not defined in 2016a. Is there any other command exist to give the same result instead of (detectImportOptions) in 2016a ?
countryall = ['US'];
for i = 1:length(countryall)
country1 = countryall(i); %specify country to model

opts1 = detectImportOptions('deathresult.txt', 'TextType','string');

How are yous using the opts variables later in your code? Are you using them as input to some function?

In 2016a, readtable does not accept an option: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2016a/matlab/ref/readtable.html. At best, you can use name value pairs to configure the settings.

The other option is to use other functions such as csvread(), textscan(), fscanf() to scan the file yourself.

Bajdar, I checked the code. Although you can avoid the problem by merely removing opts and opts1 from the readtable call. On 2020a, readtable is able to read it even without providing options as input. I am not sure about R2016a. However, there is a bigger issue here. The code makes extensive use of string datatype. However, the support for that was added from R2016b. So even if you are able to read the tables, it will still require extensive modification of the code to make it work in R2016a.
times_conf = readtable('result.txt');
times_conf1 = readtable('deathresult.txt');
