I have the following equations:
FindBurrow = .3*log(x+2)-.2
DistEffect= normpdf(y,0,6) + 0.92
VegEffect = -.006*z+1
Detection = FindBurrow*DistEffect*VegEffect
I would like to visualize the Detection function as part of a 4-D visualization. The fourth dimension would be color to represent Detection. I see that it is possible to do this if I have matrices with real x,y,z values but I currently don't.
I have tried to convert my symbolic x,y,z values to real 100 by 100 matrices using the following but it doesn't seem to work properly.
%% Conversion to "Real" Numbers
syms f(x,y,z)
f(x,y,z) = Detection;
[x,y] = ndgrid(linspace(1/10,50), linspace(1/10, 50))
z] = ndgrid(linspace(1/10,50), linspace(1/10, 50))
g = matlabFunction(Detection);
DetKernel = real(g(x,y,z))
%% Graphing the IPM
figure
surf(x,y,z,DetKernel) % surface map
clear title xlabel ylabel %Clears old runs index
xlabel ('Burrow Size') %x-axis label
ylabel('Distance From Line') %y-axis label
zlabel('Vegetation Effect') %z-axis label
cb = colorbar;
cb.Label.String = 'Probability of Detection';
I suspect this is due to a lack of knowledge of how to define the x,y,z values to make them act like grid points that Matlab will then use to make a surface or mesh. The graphing part seems to work okay, just doesn't make the shape I would expect based on experimental plotting of the XY, YZ, Z*X equations.
In short I have two questions: 1. Can I graph 4D using symbolic variables? 2. If not, how do I convert to real numbers without messing up my data?
For reference, x will be between 0 and 55, y will be between 0 and 25 and z will be between 0 and 160.

I have started to learn Machine Learning, and programming in matlab.
I want to plot a matrix sized m*d where d=3 and m are the number of points.
with y binary vector I'd like to color each point with blue/red.
and plot a plane which is described with the vertical vector to it w.
The problem I trying to solve is to give some kind of visual representation of the data and the linear predictor.
All I know is how to single points with plot3, but no any number of points.
Thanks.
Plot the points using scatter3()
scatter3(X(y,1),X(y,2),X(y,3),'filled','fillcolor','red');
hold on;
scatter3(X(~y,1),X(~y,2),X(~y,3),'filled','fillcolor','blue');
or using plot3()
plot(X(y,1),X(y,2),X(y,3),' o','MarkerEdgeColor','red','MarkerFaceColor','red');
hold on;
plot(X(~y,1),X(~y,2),X(~y,3),' o','MarkerEdgeColor','blue','MarkerFaceColor','blue');
There are a few ways to plot a plane. As long as w(3) isn't very close to 0 then the following will work okay. I'm assuming your plane is defined by x'*w+b=0 where b is a scalar and w and x are column vectors.
x1min = min(X(:,1)); x2min = min(X(:,2));
x1max = max(X(:,1)); x2max = max(X(:,2));
[x1,x2] = meshgrid(linspace(x1min,x1max,20), linspace(x2min, x2max, 20));
x3 = -(w(1)*x1 + w(2)*x2 + b)/w(3);
surf(x1,x2,x3,'FaceColor',[0.6,0.6,0.6],'FaceAlpha',0.7,'EdgeColor',[0.4,0.4,0.4],'EdgeAlpha',0.4);
xlabel('x_1'); ylabel('x_2'); zlabel('x_3'); axis('vis3d');

I have a 3D matrix C=51x51x11 dimensions, obtained from a function in a separate script, the x,y,z represent length, depth and height, and the value represent a concentration per x,y,z point. I want to create a slice crossing x and another crossing y showing the difference in concentration by color. I have tried using ngrid and meshgrid but didn't work. may i have some help with this please?
Use slice()
C = randi(1,[51,51,11]);
x= 25; y = 25; z = 5;
sl = slice(C,x,y,z);
Using slice inside a function to make it easy to view in 3d:
function eslice(V,sx,sy,sz)
slice(V,sx,sy,sz)
shading interp
axis equal
axis vis3d
end
This is from my personal library, enjoy.
MATLAB's surf command allows you to pass it optional X and Y data that specify non-cartesian x-y components. (they essentially change the basis vectors). I desire to pass similar arguments to a function that will draw a line.
How do I plot a line using a non-cartesian coordinate system?
My apologies if my terminology is a little off. This still might technically be a cartesian space but it wouldn't be square in the sense that one unit in the x-direction is orthogonal to one unit in the y-direction. If you can correct my terminology, I would really appreciate it!
EDIT:
Below better demonstrates what I mean:
The commands:
datA=1:10;
datB=1:10;
X=cosd(8*datA)'*datB;
Y=datA'*log10(datB*3);
Z=ones(size(datA'))*cosd(datB);
XX=X./(1+Z);
YY=Y./(1+Z);
surf(XX,YY,eye(10)); view([0 0 1])
produces the following graph:
Here, the X and Y dimensions are not orthogonal nor equi-spaced. One unit in x could correspond to 5 cm in the x direction but the next one unit in x could correspond to 2 cm in the x direction + 1 cm in the y direction. I desire to replicate this functionality but drawing a line instead of a surf For instance, I'm looking for a function where:
straightLine=[(1:10)' (1:10)'];
my_line(XX,YY,straightLine(:,1),straightLine(:,2))
would produce a line that traced the red squares on the surf graph.
I'm still not certain of what your input data are about, and what you want to plot. However, from how you want to plot it, I can help.
When you call
surf(XX,YY,eye(10)); view([0 0 1]);
and want to get only the "red parts", i.e. the maxima of the function, you are essentially selecting a subset of the XX, YY matrices using the diagonal matrix as indicator. So you could select those points manually, and use plot to plot them as a line:
Xplot = diag(XX);
Yplot = diag(YY);
plot(Xplot,Yplot,'r.-');
The call to diag(XX) will take the diagonal elements of the matrix XX, which is exactly where you'll get the red patches when you use surf with the z data according to eye().
Result:
Also, if you're just trying to do what your example states, then there's no need to use matrices just to take out the diagonal eventually. Here's the same result, using elementwise operations on your input vectors:
datA = 1:10;
datB = 1:10;
X2 = cosd(8*datA).*datB;
Y2 = datA.*log10(datB*3);
Z2 = cosd(datB);
XX2 = X2./(1+Z2);
YY2 = Y2./(1+Z2);
plot(Xplot,Yplot,'rs-',XX2,YY2,'bo--','linewidth',2,'markersize',10);
legend('original','vector')
Result:
Matlab has many built-in function to assist you.
In 2D the easiest way to do this is polar that allows you to make a graph using theta and rho vectors:
theta = linspace(0,2*pi,100);
r = sin(2*theta);
figure(1)
polar(theta, r), grid on
So, you would get this.
There also is pol2cart function that would convert your data into x and y format:
[x,y] = pol2cart(theta,r);
figure(2)
plot(x, y), grid on
This would look slightly different
Then, if we extend this to 3D, you are only left with plot3. So, If you have data like:
theta = linspace(0,10*pi,500);
r = ones(size(theta));
z = linspace(-10,10,500);
you need to use pol2cart with 3 arguments to produce this:
[x,y,z] = pol2cart(theta,r,z);
figure(3)
plot3(x,y,z),grid on
Finally, if you have spherical data, you have sph2cart:
theta = linspace(0,2*pi,100);
phi = linspace(-pi/2,pi/2,100);
rho = sin(2*theta - phi);
[x,y,z] = sph2cart(theta, phi, rho);
figure(4)
plot3(x,y,z),grid on
view([-150 70])
That would look this way
I am working on a joint pdf problem in which the random variable
U = sqrt(X^2+Y^2)
X and Y are uniformly distributed over (-2,2). I want to plot joint pdf of X and Y. Then compute pdf of U and plot it as well. I am using matlab R2011a, and so far, I have come up with the following code. On running the code I got an error message
Undefined function or method 'makedist' for input arguement type 'char'.
I found out that makedist is not on 2011 version. So I tried using
a=-2;
b=2;
X=a+(b-a)*rand(-10,10);
Y= a+(b-a)*rand(-10,10).
However, I am not sure how to compute pdfs of X and Y, and then joint pdf of XY from this. Any help, partial or holistic, is appreciated.
Here is the matlab code for the problem
%% Create distribution objects for X~U(-2,2) and Y~U(-2,2)
pdx=makedist('Uniform','lower',-2,'upper',2);
pdy=makedist('Uniform','lower',-2,'upper',2);
%Compute the pfs
x_ref=-10:1:10;
y_ref=-10:1:10;
pdf_x=pdf(pdx,x_ref);
pdf_y=pdf(pdy,y_ref);
% Plot the pdfs
figure 1;
stairs(x_ref,pdf_x,'g','Linewidth',2);
hold on;
stairs(y_ref,pdf_y,'r','Linewidth',2);
ylim([0 1.5]);
hold off;
% Joint pdf of x and Y
pdfXY=pdf_x*pdf_y;
figure 2;
plot(pdfXY);
%CDF and PDF of U
U=sqrt(X^2+Y^2);
Umin=0;
Umax=sqrt(b^2+b^2);
a=lower;
b=upper;
x=sqrt(U^2-Y^2);
xmin=0;
xmax=x;
ymin=0;
ymax=U;
Ucdf=integral2(pdfXY,xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax);
% plot CDF of U
figure 3;
plot(Ucdf)
I am just looking to plot the regions than for any specific sample set. X and Y are continuous independent uniform random variables.
As your x and y are independent at random, the theoretical joint distribution is just a product of the two
P(x,y) = P(x)*P(y)
In terms of MATLAB code, you may think of x and y running along two different dimensions:
N = 10; %// think of a probability mass function over N points
x = linspace(-2,2, N);
y = linspace(-2,2, N)';
Px = ones(N,1)./N;
Py = ones(1,10)./N;
%// Then the joint will be:
Jxy = bsxfun(#times, Px , Py);
figure
pcolor(x,y,Jxy)
You can now plug whatever distribution you like, if they are independent for Px and Py, and it will work
I have a problem dealing with 3rd dimension plot for three variables.
I have three matrices: Temperature, Humidity and Power. During one year, at every hour, each one of the above were measured. So, we have for each matrix 365*24 = 8760 points. Then, one average point is taken every day. So,
Tavg = 365 X 1
Havg = 365 X 1
Pavg = 365 X 1
In electrical point of veiw, the power depends on the temperature and humidity. I want to discover this relation using a three dimensional plot.
I tried using mesh, meshz, surf, plot3, and many other commands in MATLAB but unfortunately I couldn't get what I want. For example, let us take first 10 days. Here, every day is represented by average temperature, average humidity and average power.
Tavg = [18.6275
17.7386
15.4330
15.4404
16.4487
17.4735
19.4582
20.6670
19.8246
16.4810];
Havg = [75.7105
65.0892
40.7025
45.5119
47.9225
62.8814
48.1127
62.1248
73.0119
60.4168];
Pavg = [13.0921
13.7083
13.4703
13.7500
13.7023
10.6311
13.5000
12.6250
13.7083
12.9286];
How do I represent these matrices by three dimension plot?
The challenge is that the 3-D surface plotting functions (mesh, surf, etc.) are looking for a 2-D matrix of z values. So to use them you need to construct such a matrix from the data.
Currently the data is sea of points in 3-D space, so, you have to map these points to a surface. A simple approach to this is to divide up the X-Y (temperature-humidity) plane into bins and then take the average of all of the Z (power) data. Here is some sample code for this that uses accumarray() to compute the averages for each bin:
% Specify bin sizes
Tbin = 3;
Hbin = 20;
% Create binned average array
% First create a two column array of bin indexes to use as subscripts
subs = [round(Havg/Hbin)+1, round(Tavg/Tbin)+1];
% Now create the Z (power) estimate as the average value in each bin
Pest = accumarray(subs,Pavg,[],#mean);
% And the corresponding X (temp) & Y (humidity) vectors
Tval = Tbin/2:Tbin:size(Pest,2)*Tbin;
Hval = Hbin/2:Hbin:size(Pest,1)*Hbin;
% And create the plot
figure(1)
surf(Tval, Hval, Pest)
xlabel('Temperature')
ylabel('Humidity')
zlabel('Power')
title('Simple binned average')
xlim([14 24])
ylim([40 80])
The graph is a bit coarse (can't post image yet, since I am new) because we only have a few data points. We can enhance the visualization by removing any empty bins by setting their value to NaN. Also the binning approach hides any variation in the Z (power) data so we can also overlay the orgional point cloud using plot3 without drawing connecting lines. (Again no image b/c I am new)
Additional code for the final plot:
%% Expanded Plot
% Remove zeros (useful with enough valid data)
%Pest(Pest == 0) = NaN;
% First the original points
figure(2)
plot3(Tavg, Havg, Pavg, '.')
hold on
% And now our estimate
% The use of 'FaceColor' 'Interp' uses colors that "bleed" down the face
% rather than only coloring the faces away from the origin
surfc(Tval, Hval, Pest, 'FaceColor', 'Interp')
% Make this plot semi-transparent to see the original dots anb back side

ylabel('Humidity')

I think you're asking for a surface fit for your data. The Curve Fitting Toolbox handles this nicely:
% Fit model to data.
ft = fittype( 'poly11' );
fitresult = fit( [Tavg, Havg], Pavg, ft);
% Plot fit with data.
plot( fitresult, [xData, yData], zData );
legend( 'fit 1', 'Pavg vs. Tavg, Havg', 'Location', 'NorthEast' );
xlabel( 'Tavg' );
ylabel( 'Havg' );
zlabel( 'Pavg' );
grid on
If you don't have the Curve Fitting Toolbox, you can use the backslash operator:
% Find the coefficients.
const = ones(size(Tavg));
coeff = [Tavg Havg const] \ Pavg;
% Plot the original data points
clf
plot3(Tavg,Havg,Pavg,'r.','MarkerSize',20);
hold on
% Plot the surface.
[xx, yy] = meshgrid( ...
linspace(min(Tavg),max(Tavg)) , ...
linspace(min(Havg),max(Havg)) );
zz = coeff(1) * xx + coeff(2) * yy + coeff(3);
surf(xx,yy,zz)
title(sprintf('z=(%f)*x+(%f)*y+(%f)',coeff))
grid on
axis tight
Both of these fit a linear polynomial surface, i.e. a plane, but you'll probably want to use something more complicated. Both of these techniques can be adapted to this situation. There's more information on this subject at mathworks.com: How can I determine the equation of the best-fit line, plane, or N-D surface using MATLAB?.
You might want to look at Delaunay triangulation:
tri = delaunay(Tavg, Havg);
trisurf(tri, Tavg, Havg, Pavg);
Using your example data, this code generates an interesting 'surface'. But I believe this is another way of doing what you want.
You might also try the GridFit tool by John D'Errico from MATLAB Central. This tool produces a surface similar to interpolating between the data points (as is done by MATLAB's griddata) but with cleaner results because it smooths the resulting surface. Conceptually multiple datapoints for nearby or overlapping X,Y coordinates are averaged to produce a smooth result rather than noisy "ripples." The tool also allows for some extrapolation beyond the data points. Here is a code example (assuming the GridFit Tool has already been installed):
%Establish points for surface
num_points = 20;
Tval = linspace(min(Tavg),max(Tavg),num_points);
Hval = linspace(min(Havg),max(Havg),num_points);
%Do the fancy fitting with smoothing
Pest = gridfit(Tavg, Havg, Pavg, Tval, Hval);
%Plot results
figure(5)
surfc(XI,YI,Pest, 'FaceColor', 'Interp')
To produce an even nicer plot, you can add labels, some transparancy and overlay the original points:
alpha(0.5)
hold on
plot3(Tavg,Havg,Pavg,'.')
xlabel('Temperature')
ylabel('Humidity')
zlabel('Power')
grid on
title('GridFit')
PS: #upperBound: Thanks for the Delaunay triangulation tip. That seems like the way to go if you want to go through each of the points. I am a newbie so can't comment yet.
Below is your solution:
Save/write the Myplot3D function
function [x,y,V]=Myplot3D(X,Y,Z)
x=linspace(X(1),X(end),100);
y=linspace(Y(1),Y(end),100);
[Xt,Yt]=meshgrid(x,y);
V=griddata(X,Y,Z,Xt,Yt);
Call the following from your command line (or script)
[Tavg_new,Pavg_new,V]=Myplot3D(Tavg,Pavg,Havg);
surf(Tavg_new,Pavg_new,V)
colormap jet;
