Matlab transpose matrix to invert plot - matlab

I plot something using as basis two matrices built with meshgrid.
[U,V] = meshgrid(Y,X);
Inside a function I build another pair of matrices
[A,B] = function(input)
and therefore I plot
plot((U((length(U)+1)/2,:)),A((length(U)+1)/2,:));
plot((V((length(U)+1)/2,:)),B((length(U)+1)/2,:));
If U and V are of this kind:
U= 1 2 3 4 V= 1 1 1 1
1 2 3 4 2 2 2 2
1 2 3 4 3 3 3 3
... ...
I want to modify A in order to have the same plot but with U transposed meaning like this
U= 1 1 1 1 V= 1 2 3 4
2 2 2 2 1 2 3 4
3 3 3 3 1 2 3 4
... ...
Means that now U has fixed values along the rows and changes along the columns, I want to have fixed values along the columns and change along the rows and the mathematical way to do it is to transpose U.
Is there another way to do it or how can I modify A to get the same plot? Of course transposing A doesn't work. A is a built like the sum of four input parameters (input of the function)
A has let's say random values but the important thing is that the center row and column are approximately zero like this
A= -1.7 -1.6 ... 0 ... 1.6 1.7
-1.6 -1.5 ... 0 ... 1.5 1.6
... 0
0 0 0 0 0
...
1.6 1.5 ... 0 ... -1.5 -1.6
1.7 1.6 ... 0 ... -1.6 -1.7
U and V are of this kind
To get the same plot after transposing U and V is this way,
U=U'; V=V';
plot((V((length(U)+1)/2,:)),A((length(U)+1)/2,:));
plot((U((length(U)+1)/2,:)),B((length(U)+1)/2,:));
but I cannot use it because afterwards I write the values of A in a file.

It is still unclear what you want.
Your matrices U and V are meshgrids.
U= 1 2 3 4 V= 1 1 1 1
1 2 3 4 2 2 2 2
1 2 3 4 3 3 3 3
And you have matrices A and B which have a correspondence to this matrices U and V.
Example:
A= -1.7 -1.6 -1.5 -1.4 B= -2.7 -2.6 -2.5 -2.4
-1.6 -1.5 -1.4 -1.3 -2.6 -2.5 -2.4 -2.3
-1.5 -1.4 -1.3 -1.2 -2.5 -2.4 -2.3 -2.2
Now you want to transpose U and V:
U= 1 1 1 1 V= 1 2 3 4
2 2 2 2 1 2 3 4
3 3 3 3 1 2 3 4
So now if we pick one location in the matrix. eg (1, 3) that will have a U value associated (1) a V value (3), a A value (-1.5) and a B value (-2.5)
If you transpose U and V, the location (1,3) will have values U,V,A,B = (3, 1, -1.5, -2.5).
As you can see, the values of A and B are mapped to different values of U and V (basically because you transposed U and V).
So transposing A and B you will have the correct mapping again.
EDIT:
You are basically plotting V in the Xaxis and A in the Yaxis.
That basically means that each element of A is associated to an element of V to form a 2D coordinate.
If you now transpose V, the X elements will be arranged differently, so you have to rearrange the elements of A so the mapping stays the same.
That means that you need to do the same operation to both matrices to keep the mapping unchanged, since you are transposing V you also need to transpose A.
I asked for a numeric example, you the one provided is unclear.
Provide an example of what you currently have (matrices + plot) and what you want to achieve (matrices and plot). Just do the example with a small 3x3 matrix and we will see what you want to do.

MATLAB: After reshaping matrix to array, how can we know back where the value originally belongs to?

Let z = [1 3 5 6] and by getting all the difference between each elements:
we get:
bsxfun(#minus, z', z)
ans =
0 -2 -4 -5
2 0 -2 -3
4 2 0 -1
5 3 1 0
I now want to order these values in ascending order and remove the duplicates. So:
sort(reshape(bsxfun(#minus, z', z),1,16))
ans =
Columns 1 through 13
-5 -4 -3 -2 -2 -1 0 0 0 0 1 2 2
Columns 14 through 16
3 4 5
C = unique(sort(reshape(bsxfun(#minus, z', z),1,16)))
C =
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
But by looking at -5 in [-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5],
how can I tell where -5 comes from. By reading myself the matrix,
0 -2 -4 -5
2 0 -2 -3
4 2 0 -1
5 3 1 0
I know it comes from z(1) - z(4), i.e. row 1 column 4.
Also 2 comes from both z(3) - z(2) and z(2) - z(1), which comes from two cases. Without reading the originally matrix itself, how can we know that the 2 in [-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5] is originally in row 3 column 2 and row 2 column 1 of the original matrix?
So by looking at each element in [-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5], how do we know, for example, where -5 comes from in the original matrix index efficiently. I want to know as I need to do operation on ,e.g.,-5 and two indices that produce this: for example, for each difference, say -5, i do (-5)*1*6, as z(1)- z(6) = -5. But for 2, I need to do 2*(3*2+2*1) as z(3) - z(2) = 2, z(2) - z(1) = 2 which is not distinct.
Thinking hard, I think i should not reshape bsxfun(#minus, z', z) to array. I will also create two index array such that I can do operations like (-5)*1*6 stated above effectively. However, this is easier said than done and I also have to take care of nondistinct sources. Or should I do the desired operations first?
Use the third output from unique. And don't sort, unique will do that for you.
[sortedOutput,~,linearIndices] = unique(reshape(bsxfun(#minus, z', z),[1 16]))
You can reconstruct the result from bsxfun like so:
distances = reshape(sortedOutput(linearIndices),[4 4]);
If you want to know where a certain value appears, you write
targetValue = -5;
targetValueIdx = find(sortedOutput==targetValue);
linearIndexIntoDistances = find(targetValueIdx==linearIndices);
[row,col] = ind2sub([4 4],linearIndexIntoDistances);
Because linearIndices is 1 wherever the first value in sortedOutput appears in the original vector.
If you save the result of bsxfun in an intermediate variable:
distances=bsxfun(#minus, z', z)
Then you can look for the values of C in distances using find iteratively.
[rows,cols]=find(C(i)==distances)
This will give all rows and cols if the values are repeated. You just need to then use them for your equation.
You can use accumarray to collect all row and column indices that correspond to the same value in the matrix of differences:
z = [1 3 5 6]; % data vector
zd = bsxfun(#minus, z.', z); % matrix of differences
[C, ~, ind] = unique(zd); % unique values and indices
[rr, cc] = ndgrid(1:numel(z)); % template for row and col indices
f = #(x){x}; % anonymous function to collect row and col indices
row = accumarray(ind, rr(:), [], f); % group row indices according to ind
col = accumarray(ind, cc(:), [], f); % same for col indices
For example, C(6) is value 0, which appears four times in zd, at positions given by row{6} and col{6}:
>> row{6}.'
ans =
3 2 1 4
>> col{6}.'
ans =
3 2 1 4
As you see, the results are not guaranteed to be sorted. If you need to sort them in linear order:
rowcol = cellfun(#(r,c)sortrows([r c]), row, col, 'UniformOutput', false);
so now
>> rowcol{6}
ans =
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
I'm not sure I've followed exactly but some points to consider:
unique will sort the data for you by default so you don't need to call sort first
unique actually has three outputs and you can recover your original vector (i.e. with duplicates) using the third output so
[C,~,ic] = unique(reshape(bsxfun(#minus, z', z),1,16))
now you can get back to bsxfun(#minus, z', z),1,16) by calling
reshape(C(ic), numel(z), numel(z))
You might be more interested in the second output of unique which tells you what index each unique value was at in your 1-by-16 vector. It really depends on what you're trying to do though. But with this you could get a list of row column pairs to match your unique values:
[rows, cols] = ndgrid(1:4);
coords = [rows(:), cols(:)];
[C, ia] = unique(reshape(bsxfun(#minus, z', z),1,16));
coords_pairs = coords(ia,:)
which results in
coords_pairs =
1 4
1 3
2 4
2 3
3 4
4 4
4 3
3 2

Vector-defined cross product application matrix and vectorization in Matlab

I ran into an operation I cannot seem to achieve via vectorization.
Let's say I want to find the matrix of the application defined by
h: X -> cross(V,X)
where V is a predetermined vector (both X and V are 3-by-1 vectors).
In Matlab, I would do something like
M= cross(repmat(V,1,3),eye(3,3))
to get this matrix. For instance, V=[1;2;3] yields
M =
0 -3 2
3 0 -1
-2 1 0
Let's now suppose that I have a 3-by-N matrix
V=[V_1,V_2...V_N]
with each column defining its own cross-product operation. For N=2, here's a naive try to find the two cross-product matrices that V's columns define
V=[1,2,3;4,5,6]'
M=cross(repmat(V,1,3),repmat(eye(3,3),1,2))
results in
V =
1 4
2 5
3 6
M =
0 -6 2 0 -3 5
3 0 -1 6 0 -4
-2 4 0 -5 1 0
while I was expecting
M =
0 -3 2 0 -6 5
3 0 -1 6 0 -4
-2 1 0 -5 4 0
2 columns are inverted.
Is there a way to achieve this without for loops?
Thanks!
First, make sure you read the documentation of cross very carefully when dealing with matrices:
It says:
C = cross(A,B,DIM), where A and B are N-D arrays, returns the cross
product of vectors in the dimension DIM of A and B. A and B must
have the same size, and both SIZE(A,DIM) and SIZE(B,DIM) must be 3.
Bear in mind that if you don't specify DIM, it's automatically assumed to be 1, so you're operating along the columns. In your first case, you specified both the inputs A and B to be 3 x 3 matrices. Therefore, the output will be the cross product of each column independently due to the assumption that DIM=1. As such, you expect that the i'th column of the output contains the cross product of the i'th column of A and the i'th column of B and the number of rows is expected to be 3 and the number of columns needs to match between A and B.
You're getting what you expect because the first input A has [1;2;3] duplicated correctly over the columns three times. From your second piece of code, what you're expecting for V as the first input (A) looks like this:
V =
1 1 1 4 4 4
2 2 2 5 5 5
3 3 3 6 6 6
However, when you do repmat, you are in fact alternating between each column. In fact, you are getting this:
V =
1 4 1 4 1 4
2 5 2 5 2 5
3 6 3 6 3 6
repmat tile matrices together and you specified that you wanted to tile V horizontally three times. That's obviously not correct. This explains why the columns are swapped because the second, fourth and sixth columns of V actually should appear at the last three columns instead. As such, the ordering of your input columns is the reason why the output appears swapped.
As such, you need to re-order V so that the first three vectors are [1;2;3], followed by the next three vectors as [4;5;6] after. Therefore, you can generate your original V matrix first, then create a new matrix such that the odd column comes first in a group of three, followed by the even column in a group of three after:
>> V = [1,2,3;4,5,6].';
>> V = V(:, [1 1 1 2 2 2])
V =
1 1 1 4 4 4
2 2 2 5 5 5
3 3 3 6 6 6
Now use V with cross and maintain the same second input:
>> M = cross(V, repmat(eye(3), 1, 2))
M =
0 -3 2 0 -6 5
3 0 -1 6 0 -4
-2 1 0 -5 4 0
Looks good to me!

How to count patterns columnwise in Matlab?

I have a matrix S in Matlab that looks like the following:
2 2 1 2
2 3 1 1
3 3 1 1
3 4 1 1
3 1 2 1
4 1 3 1
1 1 3 1
I would like to count patterns of values column-wise. I am interested into the frequency of the numbers that follow right after number 3 in any of the columns. For instance, number 3 occurs three times in the first column. The first time we observe it, it is followed by 3, the second time it is followed by 3 again and the third time it is followed by 4. Thus, the frequency for the patters observed in the first column would look like:
3-3: 66.66%
3-4: 33.33%
3-1: 0%
3-2: 0%
To generate the output, you could use the convenient tabulate
S = [
2 2 1 2
2 3 1 1
3 3 1 1
3 4 1 1
3 1 2 1
4 1 3 1
1 1 3 1];
idx = find(S(1:end-1,:)==3);
S2 = S(2:end,:);
tabulate(S2(idx))
Value Count Percent
1 0 0.00%
2 0 0.00%
3 4 66.67%
4 2 33.33%
Here's one approach, finding the 3's then looking at the following digits
[i,j]=find(S==3);
k=i+1<=size(S,1);
T=S(sub2ind(size(S),i(k)+1,j(k))) %// the elements of S that are just below a 3
R=arrayfun(#(x) sum(T==x)./sum(k),1:max(S(:))).' %// get the number of probability of each digit
I'm going to restate your problem statement in a way that I can understand and my solution will reflect this new problem statement.
For a particular column, locate the locations that contain the number 3.
Look at the row immediately below these locations and look at the values at these locations
Take these values and tally up the total number of occurrences found.
Repeat these for all of the columns and update the tally, then determine the percentage of occurrences for the values.
We can do this by the following:
A = [2 2 1 2
2 3 1 1
3 3 1 1
3 4 1 1
3 1 2 1
4 1 3 1
1 1 3 1]; %// Define your matrix
[row,col] = find(A(1:end-1,:) == 3);
vals = A(sub2ind(size(A), row+1, col));
h = 100*accumarray(vals, 1) / numel(vals)
h =
0
0
66.6667
33.3333
Let's go through the above code slowly. The first few lines define your example matrix A. Next, we take a look at all of the rows except for the last row of your matrix and see where the number 3 is located with find. We skip the last row because we want to be sure we are within the bounds of your matrix. If there is a number 3 located at the last row, we would have undefined behaviour if we tried to check the values below the last because there's nothing there!
Once we do this, we take a look at those values in the matrix that are 1 row beneath those that have the number 3. We use sub2ind to help us facilitate this. Next, we use these values and tally them up using accumarray then normalize them by the total sum of the tallying into percentages.
The result would be a 4 element array that displays the percentages encountered per number.
To double check, if we look at the matrix, we see that the value of 3 follows other values of 3 for a total of 4 times - first column, row 3, row 4, second column, row 2 and third column, row 6. The value of 4 follows the value of 3 two times: first column, row 6, second column, row 3.
In total, we have 6 numbers we counted, and so dividing by 6 gives us 4/6 or 66.67% for number 3 and 2/6 or 33.33% for number 4.
If I got the problem statement correctly, you could efficiently implement this with MATLAB's logical indexing and an approach that is essentially of two lines -
%// Input 2D matrix
S = [
2 2 1 2
2 3 1 1
3 3 1 1
3 4 1 1
3 1 2 1
4 1 3 1
1 1 3 1]
Labels = [1:4]'; %//'# Label array
counts = histc(S([false(1,size(S,2)) ; S(1:end-1,:) == 3]),Labels)
Percentages = 100*counts./sum(counts)
Verify/Present results
The styles for presenting the output results listed next use MATLAB's table for a well human-readable format of data.
Style #1
>> table(Labels,Percentages)
ans =
Labels Percentages
______ ___________
1 0
2 0
3 66.667
4 33.333
Style #2
You can do some fancy string operations to present the results in a more "representative" manner -
>> Labels_3 = strcat('3-',cellstr(num2str(Labels','%1d')'));
>> table(Labels_3,Percentages)
ans =
Labels_3 Percentages
________ ___________
'3-1' 0
'3-2' 0
'3-3' 66.667
'3-4' 33.333
Style #3
If you want to present them in descending sorted manner based on the percentages as listed in the expected output section of the question, you can do so with an additional step using sort -
>> [Percentages,idx] = sort(Percentages,'descend');
>> Labels_3 = strcat('3-',cellstr(num2str(Labels(idx)','%1d')'));
>> table(Labels_3,Percentages)
ans =
Labels_3 Percentages
________ ___________
'3-3' 66.667
'3-4' 33.333
'3-1' 0
'3-2' 0
Bonus Stuff: Finding frequency (counts) for all cases
Now, let's suppose you would like repeat this process for say 1, 2 and 4 as well, i.e. find occurrences after 1, 2 and 4 respectively. In that case, you can iterate the above steps for all cases and for the same you can use arrayfun -
%// Get counts
C = cell2mat(arrayfun(#(n) histc(S([false(1,size(S,2)) ; S(1:end-1,:) == n]),...
1:4),1:4,'Uni',0))
%// Get percentages
Percentages = 100*bsxfun(#rdivide, C, sum(C,1))
Giving us -
Percentages =
90.9091 20.0000 0 100.0000
9.0909 20.0000 0 0
0 60.0000 66.6667 0
0 0 33.3333 0
Thus, in Percentages, the first column are the counts of [1,2,3,4] that occur right after there is a 1 somewhere in the input matrix. As as an example, one can see column -3 of Percentages is what you had in the sample output when looking for elements right after 3 in the input matrix.
If you want to compute frequencies independently for each column:
S = [2 2 1 2
2 3 1 1
3 3 1 1
3 4 1 1
3 1 2 1
4 1 3 1
1 1 3 1]; %// data: matrix
N = 3; %// data: number
r = max(S(:));
[R, C] = size(S);
[ii, jj] = find(S(1:end-1,:)==N); %// step 1
count = full(sparse(S(ii+1+(jj-1)*R), jj, 1, r, C)); %// step 2
result = bsxfun(#rdivide, count, sum(S(1:end-1,:)==N)); %// step 3
This works as follows:
find is first applied to determine row and col indices of occurrences of N in S except its last row.
The values in the entries right below the indices of step 1 are accumulated for each column, in variable count. The very convenient sparse function is used for this purpose. Note that this uses linear indexing into S.
To obtain the frequencies for each column, count is divided (with bsxfun) by the number of occurrences of N in each column.
The result in this example is
result =
0 0 0 NaN
0 0 0 NaN
0.6667 0.5000 1.0000 NaN
0.3333 0.5000 0 NaN
Note that the last column correctly contains NaNs because the frequency of the sought patterns is undefined for that column.

Build a huge matrix with vector components in MATLAB

How can I avoid using a double for loop in order to build a matrix pos like this code does:
pos=[0 0];
for i=1:m;
for j=1:n;
pos=[pos; i j];
end
end
m and n are numbers such as 500 and 900.
I have to find a better solution in order improve computation time.
Thank you so much.
You can easily do this by meshgrid.
[X,Y] = meshgrid(1:m, 1:n);
pos = [0 0; X(:) Y(:)];
How the above code works is the following. meshgrid (in this case) creates a 2D grid of (X,Y) co-ordinates. X progresses horizontally while Y progresses vertically. As we can see in your for loops, m defines the horizontal boundaries while n denotes the vertical boundaries. By calling meshgrid(1:m, 1:n), I am creating a n x m grid for both X and Y, where each row of X progresses from 1 to m, while each column of Y progresses from 1 to n. Therefore, these will both be n x m matrices. Calling the above with m = 4 and n = 5 computes:
m = 4;
n = 5;
[X,Y] = meshgrid(1:m, 1:n)
X =
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
Y =
1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4
5 5 5 5
This almost follows the format you wish. You'll notice that by looking at the columns individually, this achieves what you want, but you want to stack all of the X and Y to be in a (n x m) + 1 x 2 matrix (1 to account for [0 0]). All we have to do now is take every column of X and Y and stack them on top of each other to create a single column for both. We can stack all of these together by doing X(:) and Y(:). X(:) will take every column of X and create a single column that stacks all of the columns together. The same is done for Y(:). As such, we first create pos by attaching [0 0] as the first row, and we then attach X(:) and Y(:) as columns to pos after, thus completing the construction of pos.
Let's do an example as a proof-of-concept. Suppose that we use the same values like we did before:
m = 4;
n = 5;
Using your for loop, we get:
pos =
0 0
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
1 5
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
2 5
3 1
3 2
3 3
3 4
3 5
4 1
4 2
4 3
4 4
4 5
Using the code I have written, we also get:
pos =
0 0
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
1 5
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
2 5
3 1
3 2
3 3
3 4
3 5
4 1
4 2
4 3
4 4
4 5
Minor Note
As you stated that m and n are going to be relatively large, I would recommend you clear X and Y from your workspace before you proceed. X and Y were only created to help you create pos. As you don't need them anymore, after you calculate pos, do:
clear X;
clear Y;

How to combine vectors of different length in a cell array into matrix in MATLAB

How to efficiently combined cell array vectors with different length into a matrix, filling the vectors to max length with 0s or NaNs? It would be a nice option for cell2mat().
For example, if I have
C = {1:3; 1:5; 1:4};
I'd like to get either
M = [1 2 3 0 0
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 0];
or
M = [1 2 3 NaN NaN
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 NaN];
EDIT:
For a cell of row vectors as in your case, this will pad vectors with zeros to form a matrix
out=cell2mat(cellfun(#(x)cat(2,x,zeros(1,maxLength-length(x))),C,'UniformOutput',false))
out =
1 2 3 0 0
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 0
A similar question was asked earlier today, and although the question was worded slightly differently, my answer basically does what you want.
Copying the relevant parts here, a cell of uneven column vectors can be zero padded into a matrix as:
out=cell2mat(cellfun(#(x)cat(1,x,zeros(maxLength-length(x),1)),C,'UniformOutput',false));
where maxLength is assumed to be known. In your case, you have row vectors, which is just a slight modification from this.
If maxLength is not known, you can get it as
maxLength=max(cellfun(#(x)numel(x),C));
