find index of a specific number row wise - matlab

Consider the following example
A =
6 9 4 7 10
3 6 5 5 9
10 4 9 8 6
10 6 3 4 6
6 3 3 8 6
6 4 4 4 5
5 10 8 5 7
10 10 8 8 7
5 7 8 9 9
3 3 6 3 9
[~,Inx] =max(A, [],2)
Inx =
5
5
1
1
4
1
2
1
4
5
The above code returns index of the maximum number along each column like in first row the max number is 10 in 5th row so Inx(1) = 5
Can we do the same thing for find ? like for example if I want to find a specific number in each row lets say 8
>> find(A == 8)
ans =
27
28
29
33
35
38
I will get the indices but not row wise like we get for the max() is there some way to do minipulate find to get that ? or else some other way
Update : I know we can use [row,col,v] = find(___) but there is one problem with that it only returns for the rows where the value is present

You can simply convert A to a logical matrix where it's 1 if equal to 8 and 0 otherwise. Then you can use the second output of max to find the column which contains the first 8 in each row. If a row doesn't contain any 8's the first output of max will be a 0 and the second output will be 1.
You can multiply the first and second outputs to zero-out these rows that didn't have an 8.
[has8, col] = max(A == 8, [], 2);
% Zero out any rows that didn't contain an 8
result = has8 .* col;
% 0
% 0
% 4
% 0
% 4
% 0
% 3
% 3
% 3
% 0
If you'd rather have NaN's than 0's, you could do the following which exploits the fact that 0/0 == NaN
result = has8 .* col ./ has8;
% NaN
% NaN
% 4
% NaN
% 4
% NaN
% 3
% 3
% 3
% NaN

Inx = zeros(size(A,1),1); % initialize with default values
[row,col,v] = find(A==8); % find the proper indices
Inx(row) = col; % insert values

Replace values from a certain row onwards column-wise

I have a 10x5 double matrix mat. I also have a 1x5 row vector start_rows. In mat I would like to replace all numbers from specific rows onwards using start_rows. I could use a loop and replace all the numbers column by column. However, I'm sure there is some vectorized solution.
mat = nan(10, 5);
start_rows = [3,5,1,7,2];
% How to avoid that loop
for idx = 1 : numel(start_rows)
mat(start_rows(idx):end, idx) = 1;
end
This can be solved comparing an array of the following form to your start_rows vector:
1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4 4
5 5 5 5 5
6 6 6 6 6
7 7 7 7 7
8 8 8 8 8
9 9 9 9 9
10 10 10 10 10
which will return a logical array for when the condition is met (this uses broadcasting AKA implicit expansion).
If mat always contains zeros, and you're replacing with ones:
(1:size(mat,1)).'+ mat >= start_rows;
If mat is nonzero:
(1:size(mat,1)).'+ 0*mat >= start_rows; % option 1
(1:size(mat,1)).'+ zeros(size(mat)) >= start_rows; % option 2
If replacing with values other than 1 (or true):
((1:size(mat,1)).'+ 0*mat >= start_rows) * newVal;

matlab shuffle elements of vector with the same sequent of the same number

I have the following vector
a = 3 3 5 5 20 20 20 4 4 4 2 2 2 10 10 10 6 6 1 1 1
does anyone know how to shuffle this vector with the same elementsnever be seperate?
something like bellow
a = 10 10 10 5 5 4 4 4 20 20 20 1 1 1 3 3 2 2 2 6 6
thank you, best regard...
You can use unique combined with accumarray to create a cell array where each group of values is placed into a separate cell element. You can then shuffle these elements and recombine them into an array.
% Put each group into a separate cell of a cell array
[~, ~, ind] = unique(a);
C = accumarray(ind(:), a(:), [], #(x){x});
% Shuffle it
shuffled = C(randperm(numel(C)));
% Now make it back into a vector
out = cat(1, shuffled{:}).';
% 20 20 20 1 1 1 3 3 10 10 10 5 5 4 4 4 6 6 2 2 2
Another option is to get the values using unique and then compute the number that each occurs. You can then shuffle the values and use repelem to expand out the result
u = unique(a);
counts = histc(a, u);
% Shuffle the values
inds = randperm(numel(u));
% Now expand out the array
out = repelem(u(inds), counts(inds));
A very similar answer to #Suever, using a loop and logical matrix rather than cells
a = [3 3 5 5 20 20 20 4 4 4 2 2 2 10 10 10 6 6 1 1 1];
vals = unique(a); %find unique values
vals = vals(randperm(length(vals))); %shuffle vals matrix
aout = []; %initialize output matrix
for ii = 1:length(vals)
aout = [aout a(a==(vals(ii)))]; %add correct number of each value
end
Here's another approach:
a = [3 3 5 5 20 20 20 4 4 4 2 2 2 10 10 10 6 6 1 1 1];
[~, ~, lab] = unique(a);
r = randperm(max(lab));
[~, ind] = sort(r(lab));
result = a(ind);
Example result:
result =
2 2 2 3 3 5 5 20 20 20 4 4 4 10 10 10 1 1 1 6 6
It works as follows:
Assign unique labels to each element of a depending on their values (this is vector lab);
Apply a random bijection from the values of lab to themselves (the random bijection is represented by r; the result of applying it is r(lab));
Sort r(lab) and get the indices of the sorting (this is ind);
Apply those indices to a.

How to insert elements in a vector at regular intervals in Matlab

I have a vector of 13 entities in Matlab.
a=[3 4 6 8 1 5 8 9 3 7 3 6 2]
I want to append values [1 2 3 4 5] at regular intervals at position 1 5 9 13 & 17.
The final value of a looks like this.
a=[1 3 4 6 2 8 1 5 3 8 9 3 4 7 3 6 5 2].
The values with italics show the appended values.
How can I do it?
Since you are looking for regular intervals, you can take advantage of the reshape and cat function:
a = [3 4 6 8 1 5 8 9 3 7 3 6 2];
v = [1 2 3 4 5];
l = [1 5 9 13 17];
interval = l(2)-l(1)-1; %computes the interval between inserts
amax = ceil(size(a,2)/interval) * interval; %calculating maximum size for zero padding
a(amax) = 0; %zero padding to allow `reshape`
b = reshape (a,[interval,size(v,2)]); %reshape into matrix
result = reshape(vertcat (v,b), [1,(size(b,1)+1)*size(b,2)]); %insert the values into the right position and convert back into vector
%remove padded zeros
final = result(result ~= 0) %remove the zero padding.
>>final =
Columns 1 through 16
1 3 4 6 2 8 1 5 3 8 9 3 4 7 3 6
Columns 17 through 18
5 2
Here's an approach using boolean-indexing -
% Inputs
a = [3 4 6 8 1 5 8 9 3 7 3 6 2]
append_vals = [1 2 3 4 5]
append_interval = 4 % Starting at 1st index
% Find out indices of regular intervals where new elements are to be inserted.
% This should create that array [1,5,9,13,17]
N_total = numel(a) + numel(append_vals)
append_idx = find(rem(0:N_total-1,append_interval)==0)
% Get boolean array with 1s at inserting indices, 0s elsewhere
append_mask = ismember(1:N_total,append_idx)
% Setup output array and insert new and old elements
out = zeros(1,N_total)
out(~append_mask) = a
out(append_mask) = append_vals
Alternatively, we can also use linear-indexing and avoid creating append_mask, like so -
% Setup output array and insert new and old elements
out = zeros(1,N_total)
out(append_idx) = append_vals
out(setdiff(1:numel(out),append_idx)) = a
a=[3 4 6 8 1 5 8 9 3 7 3 6 2]; % // Your original values
pos = [1 5 9 13 17]; % // The position of the values you want to insert
b=[1 2 3 4 5]; % // The values you want to insert
% // Pre-allocate a vector with the total size to hold the resulting values
r = zeros(size(a,2)+size(pos,2),1);
r(pos) = b % // Insert the appended values into the resulting vector first
r3 = r.' <1 % // Find the indices of the original values. These will be zero in the variable r but 1 in r3
ans =
0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1
ind= find(r3==1) % // Find the indices of the original values
ind =
2 3 4 6 7 8 10 11 12 14 15 16 18
r(ind) = a; % // Insert those into the resulting vector.
r.'
ans =
1 3 4 6 2 8 1 5 3 8 9 3 4 7 3 6 5 2
You can use this function to append a bunch of values to an existing vector, given their positions in the new vector:
function r=append_interval(a,v,p)
% a - vector with initial values
% v - vector containing values to be inserted
% p - positions for values in v
lv=numel(v); % number of elements in v vector
la=numel(a); % number of elements in a vector
column_a=iscolumn(a); % check if a is a column- or row- wise vector
tot_elements=la+lv;
% size of r is tha max between the total number of elements in the two vectors and the higher positin in vector p (in this case missing positions in a are filled with zeros)
lr=max([max(p) tot_elements]);
% initialize r as nan vector
r=zeros(column_a*(lr-1)+1,~column_a*(lr-1)+1)/0;
% set elements in p position to the corresponding values in v
r(p)=v;
% copy values in a in the remaining positions and fill with zeros missing entries (if any)
tot_missing_values=lr-tot_elements;
if(tot_missing_values)
remaining_values=cat(2-iscolumn(a),a,zeros(column_a*(tot_missing_values-1)+1,~column_a*(tot_missing_values-1)+1));
else
remaining_values=a;
end
% insert values
r(isnan(r))=remaining_values;
You can use row-wise or column-wise vectors; the orientation of r will be the same of that of a.
Input:
a =
3 4 6 8 1 5 8 9 3 7 3 6 2
v =
1 2 3 4 5
p =
1 5 9 13 17
Output:
>> append_interval(a,v,p)
ans =
1 3 4 6 2 8 1 5 3 8 9 3 4 7 3 6 5 2
Every sequence of positive positions is allowed and the function will pad for you with zeros the final vector, in case you indicate a position exceding the sum of the original vector and added items.
For example, if:
v3 =
1 2 3 4 5 6 90
p3 =
1 5 9 13 17 30 33
you get:
append_interval(a,v3,p3)
ans =
Columns 1 through 19
1 3 4 6 2 8 1 5 3 8 9 3 4 7 3 6 5 2 0
Columns 20 through 33
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 0 90
Hope this will help.

How to generate random matrix without repetition in rows and cols?

How to generate random matrix without repetition in rows and cols with specific range
example (3x3): range 1 to 3
2 1 3
3 2 1
1 3 2
example (4x4): range 1 to 4
4 1 3 2
1 3 2 4
3 2 4 1
2 4 1 3
A way of approaching this problem is to generate a circular matrix and shuffle it.
mat_size = 4
A = gallery('circul', 1:mat_size); % circular matrix
B = A( randperm(length(A)) , randperm(length(A)) ); % shuffle rows and columns with randperm
It gives
A =
1 2 3 4
4 1 2 3
3 4 1 2
2 3 4 1
B =
3 4 1 2
2 3 4 1
4 1 2 3
1 2 3 4
This method should be fast. An 11 size problem is computed in 0.047021 seconds.
This algorithm will do the trick, assuming you want to contain all elements between 1 and n
%// Elements to be contained, but no zero allowed
a = [1 2 3 4];
%// all possible permutations and its size
n = numel(a);
%// initialization
output = zeros(1,n);
ii = 1;
while ii <= n;
%// random permuation of input vector
b = a(randperm(n));
%// concatenate with already found values
temp = [output; b];
%// check if the row chosen in this iteration already exists
if ~any( arrayfun(#(x) numel(unique(temp(:,x))) < ii+1, 1:n) )
%// if not, append
output = temp;
%// increase counter
ii = ii+1;
end
end
output = output(2:end,:) %// delete first row with zeros
It definitely won't be the fastest implementation. I would be curios to see others.
The computation time increases exponentially. But everything up to 7x7 is bearable.
I wrote another code (interesting to compare timings and, if possible, to make it parallel). Also had problem with perms (needed to restart Matlab to be able to generate for 11 elements, I have x64 and 16GB of memory). Than I decided to keep characters instead of the numbers, reducing the memory occupied by the matrix. It, of course, generates all permutations, and I shuffle them in the beginning, selecting in the loop in a new random order. It runs faster this way and 'eats' less memory. Time for 11 x 11 (of course it differs from run to run) is shown in results.
clear all;
t = cputime;
sze = 11;
variations = perms(char(1 : sze)); % permutations
varN = length(variations);
variations = variations(randperm(varN)', :); % shuffle
sudoku = zeros(sze, sze);
sudoku(1, :) = variations(1, :); % set the first row
indx = 2;
for ii = 2 : varN
% take a random index
rowVal = variations(ii, :);
% check that row numbers do not present in table at
% corresponding columns
if (~isempty(find(repmat(rowVal, sze, 1) - sudoku == 0, 1)))
continue;
end;
sudoku(indx, :) = rowVal;
disp(['Found row ' num2str(indx)]);
indx = indx + 1;
if indx > sze, break; end;
end;
disp(cputime - t);
disp(sudoku);

Here's a memory-efficient approach. The time it takes is random, but not very large. All possible output matrices are equally likely.
This works by randomly filling the matrix until no more positions are available or until the whole matrix has been filled. The code is commented so it should be obvious how it works.
For size 11 this takes of the order of a few thousands or tens of thousands attempts. On my old laptop that means a (random) running time from a few seconds to tens of seconds.
It could perhaps be sped up using uint8 values instead of double. I don't think that brings a large gain, though.
The code:
clear all
n = 11; %// matrix size
[ ii jj ] = ndgrid(1:n); %// rows and columns of S
ii = ii(:);
jj = jj(:);
success = 0; %// ...for now
attempt = 0; %// attempt count (not really needed)
while ~success
attempt = attempt + 1;
S = NaN(n, n); %// initiallize result. NaN means position not filled yet
t = 1; %// number t is being placed within S ...
u = 1; %// ... for the u-th time
mask = true(1, numel(ii)); %// initiallize mask of available positions
while any(mask) %// while there are available positions
available = find(mask); %// find available positions
r = randi(numel(available), 1); %// pick one available position
itu = ii(available(r)); %// row of t, u-th time
jtu = jj(available(r)); %// col of t, u-th time
S(itu, jtu) = t; %// store t at that position
remove = (ii==itu) | (jj==jtu);
mask(remove) = false; %// update mask of positions available for t
u = u+1; %// next u
if u > n %// we are done with number t
t = t+1; %// let's go with new t
u = 1; %// initiallize u
mask = isnan(S(:)); %// initiallize mask for this t
end
if t > n %// we are done with all numbers
success = 1; %// exit outer loop (inner will be exited too)
end
end
end
disp(attempt) %// display number of attempts
disp(S) %// show result

Matlab: sorting a vector by the number of time each unique value occurs

We have p.e. i = 1:25 iterations.
Each iteration result is a 1xlength(N) cell array, where 0<=N<=25.
iteration 1: 4 5 9 10 20
iteration 2: 3 8 9 13 14 6
...
iteration 25: 1 2 3
We evaluate the results of all iterations to one matrix sorted according to frequency each value is repeated in descending order like this example:
Matrix=
Columns 1 through 13
16 22 19 25 2 5 8 14 17 21 3 12 13
6 5 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2
Columns 14 through 23
18 20 1 6 7 9 10 11 15 23
2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Result explanation: Column 1: N == 16 is present in 6 iterations, column 2: N == 22 is present in 5 iterations etc.
If a number N isn't displayed (in that paradigm N == 4, N == 24) in any iteration, is not listed with frequency index of zero either.
I want to associate each iteration (i) to the first N it is displayed p.e. N == 9 to be present only in first iteration i = 1 and not in i = 2 too, N == 3 only to i = 2 and not in i = 25 too etc until all i's to be unique associated to N's.
Thank you in advance.
Here's a way that uses a feature of unique (i.e. that it returns the index to the first value) that was introduced in R2012a
%# make some sample data
iteration{1} = [1 2 4 6];
iteration{2} = [1 3 6];
iteration{3} = [1 2 3 4 5 6];
nIter= length(iteration);
%# create an index vector so we can associate N's with iterations
nn = cellfun(#numel,iteration);
idx = zeros(1,sum(nn));
idx([1,cumsum(nn(1:end-1))+1]) = 1;
idx = cumsum(idx); %# has 4 ones, 3 twos, 6 threes
%# create a vector of the same length as idx with all the N's
nVec = cat(2,iteration{:});
%# run `unique` on the vector to identify the first occurrence of each N
[~,firstIdx] = unique(nVec,'first');
%# create a "cleanIteration" array, where each N only appears once
cleanIter = accumarray(idx(firstIdx)',firstIdx',[nIter,1],#(x){sort(nVec(x))},{});
cleanIter =
[1x4 double]
[ 3]
[ 5]
>> cleanIter{1}
ans =
1 2 4 6
Here is another solution using accumarray. Explanations in the comments
% example data (from your question)
iteration{1} = [4 5 9 10 20 ];
iteration{2} = [3 8 9 13 14 6];
iteration{3} = [1 2 3];
niterations = length(iteration);
% create iteration numbers
% same as Jonas did in the first part of his code, but using a short loop
for i=1:niterations
idx{i} = i*ones(size(iteration{i}));
end
% count occurences of values from all iterations
% sort them in descending order
occurences = accumarray([iteration{:}]', 1);
[occ val] = sort(occurences, 1, 'descend');
% remove zero occurences and create the Matrix
nonzero = find(occ);
Matrix = [val(nonzero) occ(nonzero)]'
Matrix =
3 9 1 2 4 5 6 8 10 13 14 20
2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
% find minimum iteration number for all occurences
% again, using accumarray with #min function
assoc = accumarray([iteration{:}]', [idx{:}]', [], #min);
nonzero = find(assoc);
result = [nonzero assoc(nonzero)]'
result =
1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 13 14 20
