Generate a matrix containing all combinations of elements taken from n vectors
(4 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have an arbitrary n-by-n matrix. I want to look at sets of columns and rows of the matrix and do some analysis on them, for example by setting all elements of a specific set of rows and columns equal to zero. To do this I need to analyse all combinations of rows and columns.
For example, if n=3 the process selects the row and columns 1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 23, 123 in succession and creates a new variable for each row and column.
I am currently the technique below for a matrix of size 4:
H = [some 4-by-4 matrix]
for i1 = 1:n
for i2 = 1:n
for i3 = 1:n
for i4 = 1:n
% Set all rows and columns of all variables equal to 0
H(:,i1) = 0;
H(i1,:) = 0;
H(:,i2) = 0;
H(i2,:) = 0;
H(:,i3) = 0;
H(i3,:) = 0;
H(:,i4) = 0;
H(i4,:) = 0;
% Some more analysis on i1, i2, i3, i4...
end
end
end
end
This is an extremely crude method but it seems to work. Obviously, this technique looks at the set (1,1,1,1) which is equivalent to just (1) first, then (1,1,1,2) which is equivalent to (1,2), then (1,1,1,3) which is equivalent to (1,3)... and so on...
The problem here is that this is not a general process for any matrix of size n, this is only a crude process for a matrix of size 4.
Is there any way to generalise the process so that it works for any arbitrary n-by-n matrix?
Thanks!
You can reduce the arbitrary number of loops to one:
for k = 1:2^n-1
ind = dec2bin(k,n)=='1';
H(ind,:) = 0;
H(:,ind) = 0;
end
The trick is to use just one loop to create a logical index (ind) that tells which columns will be selected. So for n=4 the variable ind takes the values [0 0 0 1], [0 0 1 0], [0 0 1 1], ... [1 1 1 1].
Here is a neat way to do that with only two for loops and no magic function. It uses the binary representation of the integer numbers to decide whether to zero out a column and a row.
I just fix some values for the test
n = 3;
Mat = rand(n,n);
Then, we know that there are 2^n combinations, so let's number them from 0 to 2^n-1:
for tag=0:2^n-1
We make a copy to keep the original matrix untouched
myMat = Mat;
Now loop on the row and columns
for (i=1:n)
Here is the trick: if the i-th bit of tag (in binary) is 1, then we zero out the column and row, otherwise we keep it untouched.
if ( mod( floor(tag/2^(i-1)), 2) == 1 )
myMat(:,i) = 0;
myMat(i,:) = 0;
end
end
Finally display to check that we have what we need.
myMat
end

Very new to Matlab, I usually use STATA.
I want to use the nchoosek fuction to get the sum of vectors in one matrix.
I have a 21x21 adjacency matrix, with either 0 or 1 as the inputs. I want to create a new matrix, that will give me a sum of inputs between all possible triads from the adjacency matrix.
The new matrix should look have four variables, indexes (i, j, k) - corresponding to each combination from the 21x21. And a final variable which is a sum of the inputs.
The code I have so far is:
C = nchoosek(21,3)
B = zeros(nchoosek(21,3), 4)
for i=1:C
for j=i+1:C
for k=j+1:C
B(?)=B(i, j, k, A(i)+A(j)+A(k)) #A is the 21x21 adj mat
end
end
end
I know my assignment statement is incorrect as I don't completed understand the indexing role of the ":" operator. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
This might be what you want:
clear all
close all
clc
A = rand(21,21); % Replace this with actual A
rowNum = 0;
for i=1:21
for j=i+1:21
for k=j+1:21
rowNum = rowNum+1;
B(rowNum,:) = [i, j, k, sum(A(:,i)+A(:,j)+A(:,k))];
end
end
end
There are some points:
You loop for different combinations. the total number of combination is nchoosek(21,3) which you can check after 3 nested loop. Your code with for i=1:C was the first error since you're actually looping for different values of i and different values of j and k. So these just 21 values not more.
To avoid repeated combinations, it's enough to start new index after the previous one, which you've realized in your code.
There are other possible approaches such as vectorized format, but to stick to your approach, I used a counter: rowNum which is the loop counter and updated along the loop.
B(rowNum,:) means all element of rowNum'th row of the matrix B.
Below is an algorithm to find the triads in an adjacency matrix. It checks all possible triads and sums the values.
%basic adjacency matrix with two triads (1-2-5) (2-3-5)
A=[];
A(1,:) = [0 1 0 0 1];
A(2,:) = [1 0 1 0 1];
A(3,:) = [0 1 0 0 1];
A(4,:) = [0 0 0 0 1];
A(5,:) = [1 1 1 1 0];
A=A==1; %logical matrix
triads=nchoosek(1:5,3);
S=nan(size(triads,1),4);
for ct = 1:size(triads,1)
S(ct,1:3)=[A(triads(ct,1),triads(ct,2)),A(triads(ct,1),triads(ct,3)),A(triads(ct,2),triads(ct,3))];
S(ct,4)=sum(S(ct,1:3));
end

I am working with a n x 1 matrix, A, that has repeating values inside it:
A = [0;1;2;3;4; 0;1;2;3;4; 0;1;2;3;4; 0;1;2;3;4]
which correspond to an n x 1 matrix of B values:
B = [2;4;6;8;10; 3;5;7;9;11; 4;6;8;10;12; 5;7;9;11;13]
I am attempting to produce a generalised code to place each repetition into a separate column and store it into Aa and Bb, e.g.:
Aa = [0 0 0 0 Bb = [2 3 4 5
1 1 1 1 4 5 6 7
2 2 2 2 6 7 8 9
3 3 3 3 8 9 10 11
4 4 4 4] 10 11 12 13]
Essentially, each repetition from A and B needs to be copied into the next column and then deleted from the first column
So far I have managed to identify how many repetitions there are and copy the entire column over to the next column and then the next for the amount of repetitions there are but my method doesn't shift the matrix rows to columns as such.
clc;clf;close all
A = [0;1;2;3;4;0;1;2;3;4;0;1;2;3;4;0;1;2;3;4];
B = [2;4;6;8;10;3;5;7;9;11;4;6;8;10;12;5;7;9;11;13];
desiredCol = 1; %next column to go to
destinationCol = 0; %column to start on
n = length(A);
for i = 2:1:n-1
if A == 0;
A = [ A(:, 1:destinationCol)...
A(:, desiredCol+1:destinationCol)...
A(:, desiredCol)...
A(:, destinationCol+1:end) ];
end
end

Any hints would be much appreciated. If you need further explanation, let me know!

Given our discussion in the comments, all you need is to use reshape which converts a matrix of known dimensions into an output matrix with specified dimensions provided that the number of elements match. You wish to transform a vector which has a set amount of repeating patterns into a matrix where each column has one of these repeating instances. reshape creates a matrix in column-major order where values are sampled column-wise and the matrix is populated this way. This is perfect for your situation.
Assuming that you already know how many "repeats" you're expecting, we call this An, you simply need to reshape your vector so that it has T = n / An rows where n is the length of the vector. Something like this will work.
n = numel(A); T = n / An;
Aa = reshape(A, T, []);
Bb = reshape(B, T, []);
The third parameter has empty braces and this tells MATLAB to infer how many columns there will be given that there are T rows. Technically, this would simply be An columns but it's nice to show you how flexible MATLAB can be.
If you say you already know the repeated subvector, and the number of times it repeats then it is relatively straight forward:
First make your new A matrix with the repmat function.
Then remap your B vector to the same size as you new A matrix
% Given that you already have the repeated subvector Asub, and the number
% of times it repeats; An:
Asub = [0;1;2;3;4];
An = 4;
lengthAsub = length(Asub);
Anew = repmat(Asub, [1,An]);
% If you can assume that the number of elements in B is equal to the number
% of elements in A:
numberColumns = size(Anew, 2);
newB = zeros(size(Anew));
for i = 1:numberColumns
indexStart = (i-1) * lengthAsub + 1;
indexEnd = indexStart + An;
newB(:,i) = B(indexStart:indexEnd);
end
If you don't know what is in your original A vector, but you do know it is repetitive, if you assume that the pattern has no repeats you can use the find function to find when the first element is repeated:
lengthAsub = find(A(2:end) == A(1), 1);
Asub = A(1:lengthAsub);
An = length(A) / lengthAsub
Hopefully this fits in with your data: the only reason it would not is if your subvector within A is a pattern which does not have unique numbers, such as:
A = [0;1;2;3;2;1;0; 0;1;2;3;2;1;0; 0;1;2;3;2;1;0; 0;1;2;3;2;1;0;]
It is worth noting that from the above intuitively you would have lengthAsub = find(A(2:end) == A(1), 1) - 1;, But this is not necessary because you are already effectively taking the one off by only looking in the matrix A(2:end).
H matrix is n-by-n, n=10000. I can use loop to generate this matrix in matlab. I just wonder if there are any methods that can do this without looping in matlab.
You can see that the upper right portion of the matrix consists of 1 / sqrt(n*(n-1)), the diagonal elements consist of -(n-1)/sqrt(n*(n-1)), the first column consists of 1/sqrt(n) and the rest of the elements are zero.
We can generate the full matrix that consists of the first column having all 1 / sqrt(n), then having the rest of the columns with 1 / sqrt(n*(n-1)) then we'll need to modify the matrix to include the rest of what you want.
As such, let's concentrate on the elements that start from row 2, column 2 as these follow a pattern. Once we're done, we can construct the other things that build up the final matrix.
x = 2:n;
Hsmall = repmat([1./sqrt(x.*(x-1))], n-1, 1);
Next, we will tackle the diagonal elements:
Hsmall(logical(eye(n-1))) = -(x-1)./sqrt(x.*(x-1));
Now, let's zero the rest of the elements:
Hsmall(tril(logical(ones(n-1)),-1)) = 0;
Now that we're done, let's create a new matrix that pieces all of this together:
H = [1/sqrt(n) 1./sqrt(x.*(x-1)); repmat(1/sqrt(n), n-1, 1) Hsmall];
Therefore, the full code is:
x = 2:n;
Hsmall = repmat([1./sqrt(x.*(x-1))], n-1, 1);
Hsmall(logical(eye(n-1))) = -(x-1)./sqrt(x.*(x-1));
Hsmall(tril(logical(ones(n-1)),-1)) = 0;
H = [1/sqrt(n) 1./sqrt(x.*(x-1)); repmat(1/sqrt(n), n-1, 1) Hsmall];
Here's an example with n = 6:

Since you are working with a pretty large n value of 10000, you might want to squeeze out as much performance as possible.
Going with that, you can use an efficient approach based on cumsum -
%// Values to be set in each column for the upper triangular region
upper_tri = 1./sqrt([1:n].*(0:n-1));
%// Diagonal indices
diag_idx = [1:n+1:n*n];
%// Setup output array
out = zeros(n,n);
%// Set the first row of output array with upper triangular values
out(1,:) = upper_tri;
%// Set the diagonal elements with the negative triangular values.
%// The intention here is to perform CUMSUM across each column later on,
%// thus therewould be zeros beyond the diagonal positions for each column
out(diag_idx) = -upper_tri;
%// Set the first element of output array with n^(-1/2)
out(1) = -1/sqrt(n);
%// Finally, perform CUMSUM as suggested earlier
out = cumsum(out,1);
%// Set the diagonal elements with the actually expected values
out(diag_idx(2:end)) = upper_tri(2:end).*[-1:-1:-(n-1)];
Runtime Tests
(I) With n = 10000, the runtime at my end were - Elapsed time is 0.457543 seconds.
(II) Now, as the final performance-squeezing practice, you can edit the pre-allocation step for out with a faster pre-allocation scheme as listed in this MATLAB Undodumented Blog. Thus, the pre-allocation step would look like this -
out(n,n) = 0;
The runtime with this edited code was - Elapsed time is 0.400399 seconds.
(III) The runtime for n = 10000 with the other answer by #rayryeng yielded - Elapsed time is 1.306339 seconds.
I have a matrix with constant consecutive values randomly distributed throughout the matrix. I want the indices of the consecutive values, and further, I want a matrix of the same size as the original matrix, where the number of consecutive values are stored in the indices of the consecutive values. For Example
original_matrix = [1 1 1;2 2 3; 1 2 3];
output_matrix = [3 3 3;2 2 0;0 0 0];
I have struggled mightily to find a solution to this problem. It has relevance for meteorological data quality control. For example, if I have a matrix of temperature data from a number of sensors, and I want to know what days had constant consecutive values, and how many days were constant, so I can then flag the data as possibly faulty.
temperature matrix is number of days x number of stations and I want an output matrix that is also number of days x number of stations, where the consecutive values are flagged as described above.
If you have a solution to that, please provide! Thank you.
For this kind of problems, I made my own utility function runlength:
function RL = runlength(M)
% calculates length of runs of consecutive equal items along columns of M
% work along columns, so that you can use linear indexing
% find locations where items change along column
jumps = diff(M) ~= 0;
% add implicit jumps at start and end
ncol = size(jumps, 2);
jumps = [true(1, ncol); jumps; true(1, ncol)];
% find linear indices of starts and stops of runs
ijump = find(jumps);
nrow = size(jumps, 1);
istart = ijump(rem(ijump, nrow) ~= 0); % remove fake starts in last row
istop = ijump(rem(ijump, nrow) ~= 1); % remove fake stops in first row
rl = istop - istart;
assert(sum(rl) == numel(M))
% make matrix of 'derivative' of runlength
% don't need last row, but needs same size as jumps for indices to be valid
dRL = zeros(size(jumps));
dRL(istart) = rl;
dRL(istop) = dRL(istop) - rl;
% remove last row and 'integrate' to get runlength
RL = cumsum(dRL(1:end-1,:));
It only works along columns since it uses linear indexing. Since you want do something similar along rows, you need to transpose back and forth, so you could use it for your case like so:
>> original = [1 1 1;2 2 3; 1 2 3];
>> original = original.'; % transpose, since runlength works along columns
>> output = runlength(original);
>> output = output.'; % transpose back
>> output(output == 1) = 0; % see hitzg's comment
>> output
output =
3 3 3
2 2 0
0 0 0
I have a vector whose elements identify the indices (per column) that I need to set in a different matrix. Specifically, I have:
A = 7
1
2
and I need to create a matrix B with some number of rows of zeros, except for the elements identified by A. In other words, I want B:
B = zeros(10, 3); % number of rows is known; num columns = size(A)
B(A(1), 1) = 1
B(A(2), 2) = 1
B(A(3), 3) = 1
I would like to do this without having to write a loop.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Use linear indexing:
B = zeros(10, 3);
B(A(:).'+ (0:numel(A)-1)*size(B,1)) = 1;
The second line can be written equivalently with sub2ind (may be a little slower):
B(sub2ind(size(B), A(:).', 1:numel(A))) = 1;
