Matlab Date Vector - matlab

I have an array A with time information in the format hhmmss. Ultimately, I would like to normalize this array by indicating the elapsed time (in seconds, starting from the first time).
A = [ 150213
150013
145813
145613
145413
145313
145213
145113
145013
144943
144913
144843
144833
144823
144813
144803
144753
144743
144741
144739
144737
144735
144733
144731
144729
144727
144725
144723
144721
144719]
So, in the end the array should be :
A_updated = [894
774
654
534
414
354
294
234
174
144
114
84
74
64
54
44
34
24
22
20
18
16
14
12
10
8
6
4
2
0
]
What would be the quickest 'Matlab way' to proceed with this? Many thanks in advance for your ideas.

I haven't used Matlab in a while, so forgive the syntax mistakes, and I don't have it available right now, but here's what I would try. Basically, convert everything to seconds then subtract the last element.
At = uint32(A);
A_updated = mod(At,100);
At = floor(At ./ 100);
A_updated = A_updated + mod(At,100) * 60;
At = floor(At ./ 100);
A_updated = A_updated + At * 3600;
A_updated = A_updated - A_updated(end);

I did this in Octave so you may need to adjust the syntax for datenum:
B = double(A);
hh = floor(B/10000);
mm = floor((B-hh*10000)/100);
ss = B - hh*10000 - mm*100;
C = datenum(2013,10,28,hh,mm,ss);
elapsed_time = (C-C(end))*3600*24;

Matlab - Create a vector using another vector as the limits

Say I have the following columns vector Z
1 53 55 57 60 64 68 70 71 72 74 76 77 78 79 80 255
I want to use it to create a matrix such that each row would contain all the number between (and including) 2 adjacent elements in Z
So the output matrix should be something like this:
1 2 3 .... 53
53 54 55
55 56 57
57 58 60
....
80 81 ... 255
I've been searching for something similar but couldn't find it.
Thanks
See if this works for you -
lens = diff(Z)+1;
mask1 = bsxfun(#le,[1:max(lens)]',lens); %//'
array1 = zeros(size(mask1));
array1(mask1) = sort([1:255 Z(2:end-1)]);
out = array1.'; %//'# out is the desired output
Try this to break the monotony of bsxfun :) :
d = diff(Z);
N = max(d)+1;
R = zeros(length(Z)-1,N);
for i = 1:length(Z)-1
R(i,1:1+d(i)) = Z(i):Z(i+1);
end
EDIT:
I know that the general consensus is that one always should try to avoid loops in Matlab, but is this valid for this example? I know that this is a broad question, so lets focus on this particular problem and compare bsxfun to JIT loop. Comparing the two proposed solutions:
the code used for testing:
Z = [1 53 55 57 60 64 68 70 71 72 74 76 77 78 79 80 255];
%[1 3 4, 6];
nn = round(logspace(1,4,10));
tm1_nn = zeros(length(nn),1);
tm2_nn = zeros(length(nn),1);
for o = 1:length(nn)
tm1 = zeros(nn(o),1);
tm2 = zeros(nn(o),1);
% approach1
for k = 1:nn(o)+1
tic
d = diff(Z);
N = max(d)+1;
R = zeros(length(Z)-1,N);
for i = 1:length(Z)-1
R(i,1:1+d(i)) = Z(i):Z(i+1);
end
tm1(k) = toc;
end
%approach 2
for k = 1:nn(o)+1
tic
lens = diff(Z)+1;
mask1 = bsxfun(#le,[1:max(lens)]',lens); %//'
array1 = zeros(size(mask1));
array1(mask1) = sort([1:255 Z(2:end-1)]);
out = array1.';
tm2(k) = toc;
end
tm1_nn(o) = mean(tm1);%sum(tm1);%mean(tm1);%
tm2_nn(o) = mean(tm2);%sum(tm2);%mean(tm2);%
end

I encountered other tasks previously where the loop was faster. (or I mess up the comparison?)

Matlab : How I can creat a polynomial generator Reed Solomon for QR Code

I have to make a matlab program, which should create a QR Code.
My problem is the Reed Solomon error correction
The user enters the word he wants. [...] I got a string of numbers I should be gone in a polynomial generator (Reed Solomon) (I found some sites that do this very well: http://www.pclviewer.com/rs2/calculator.html)
I would like it to happen: for example I input: 32 91 11 120 209 114 220 77 67 64 236 17 236
[Reed Solomon generator polynomial]
and I want to find out: 168 72 22 82 217 54 156 0 46 15 180 122 16
I found the functions rsenc comm.rsencoder gf ... But it is impossible to understand the operation of these functions. Functions are detailed: http://www.mathworks.fr/fr/help/comm...n.html#fp12225
I tried a code of this type :
n = 255; k = 13; % Codeword length and message length
m = 8; % Number of bits in each symbol
msg = [32 91 11 120 209 114 220 77 67 64 236 17 236]; % Message is a Galois array.
obj = comm.RSEncoder(n, k);
c1 = step(obj, msg(1,:)');
c = [c1].';
He produced a string of 255 while I want 13 output.
Thank you for your help.
I think that you are committing a mistake.
'n' is the length of final message with parity code.
'k' is the lenght of message (number of symbols)
I guess that this will help you:
clc, clear all;
M = 16; % Modulation Order || same that Max value, at your case: 256! 2^m
hEnc = comm.RSEncoder;
hEnc.CodewordLength = M - 1; % Max = M-1, Min = 4, Must be greater than MessageLenght
hEnc.MessageLength = 13; % Experiment change up and down value (using odd number)
hEnc.BitInput = false;
hEnc
t = hEnc.CodewordLength - hEnc.MessageLength;
frame = 2*hEnc.MessageLength; % multiple of MensagemLength
fprintf('\tError Detection (in Symbols): %d\n',t);
fprintf('\tError Correction: %.2f\n',t/2);
data = randi([0 M-1], frame, 1); % Create a frame with symbols range (0 to M-1)
encodedData = step(hEnc, data); % encod the frame

Matlab: find mode in range

I have a matrix like:
A=
10 31 32 22
32 35 52 77
68 42 84 32
I need a function like mode but with range, for example mymode(A,10) that return 30, find most frequent number in range 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, .... and return most number in range.
You can use histc to bin your data into the ranges of your desire and then find the bin with the most members using max on the output of histc
ranges = 0:10:50; % your desired ranges
[n, bins] = histc(A(:), ranges); % bin the data
[v,i] = max(n); % find the bin with most occurrences
[ranges(i) ranges(i+1)] % edges of the most frequent bin
For your specific example this returns
ans =
30 40
which matches with your required output, as the most values in A lay between 30 and 40.
[M,F] = mode( A((A>=2) & (A<=5)) ) %//only interested in range 2 to 5
...where M will give you the mode and F will give you frequency of occurence
> A = [10 31 32 22; 32 35 52 77; 68 42 84 32]
A =
10 31 32 22
32 35 52 77
68 42 84 32
> min = 10
min = 10
> max = 40
max = 40
> mode(A(A >= min & A <= max))
ans = 32
>
I guess by the number of different answers that we may be missing your goal. Here is my interpretation.
If you want to have many ranges and you want to output most frequent number for every range, create a cell containing all desired ranges (they could overlap) and use cellfun to run mode() for every range. You can also create a cell with desired ranges using arrayfun in a similar manner:
A = [10 31 32 22; 32 35 52 77; 68 42 84 32];
% create ranges
range_step = 10;
range_start=[0:range_step:40];
range=arrayfun(#(r)([r r+range_step]), range_start, 'UniformOutput', false)
% analyze ranges
o = cellfun(#(r)(mode(A(A>=r(1) & A<=r(2)))), range, 'UniformOutput', false)
o =
[10] [10] [22] [32] [42]

Find the longest run of sequential integers in a vector

I have a routine that returns a list of integers as a vector.
Those integers come from groups of sequential numbers; for example, it may look like this:
vector = 6 7 8 12 13 14 15 26 27 28 29 30 55 56
Note that above, there are four 'runs' of numbers (6-8, 12-15, 26-30 & 55-56). What I'd like to do is forward the longest 'run' of numbers to a new vector. In this case, that would be the 26-30 run, so I'd like to produce:
newVector = 26 27 28 29 30
This calculation has to be performed many, many times on various vectors, so the more efficiently I can do this the better! Any wisdom would be gratefully received.
You can try this:
v = [ 6 7 8 12 13 14 15 26 27 28 29 30 55 56];
x = [0 cumsum(diff(v)~=1)];
v(x==mode(x))
This results in
ans =
26 27 28 29 30
Here is a solution to get the ball rolling . . .
vector = [6 7 8 12 13 14 15 26 27 28 29 30 55 56]
d = [diff(vector) 0]
maxSequence = 0;
maxSequenceIdx = 0;
lastIdx = 1;
while lastIdx~=find(d~=1, 1, 'last')
idx = find(d~=1, 1);
if idx-lastIdx > maxSequence
maxSequence = idx-lastIdx;
maxSequenceIdx = lastIdx;
end
d(idx) = 1;
lastIdx=idx;
end
output = vector(1+maxSequenceIdx:maxSequenceIdx+maxSequence)
In this example, the diff command is used to find consecutive numbers. When numbers are consecutive, the difference is 1. A while loop is then used to find the longest group of ones, and the index of this consecutive group is stored. However, I'm confident that this could be optimised further.
Without loops using diff:
vector = [6 7 8 12 13 14 15 26 27 28 29 30 55 56];
seqGroups = [1 find([1 diff(vector)]~=1) numel(vector)+1]; % beginning of group
[~, groupIdx] = max( diff(seqGroups)); % bigger group index
output = vector( seqGroups(groupIdx):seqGroups(groupIdx+1)-1)
output vector is
ans =
26 27 28 29 30
Without loops - should be faster
temp = find ( ([(vector(2:end) - vector(1:end-1))==1 0])==0);
[len,ind]=max(temp(2:end)-temp(1:end-1));
vec_out = vector(temp(ind)+1:temp(ind)+len)

Remove the minimum values per each column of a Matrix

If I had a matrix A such as:
63 55 85 21 71
80 65 85 48 53
55 60 93 71 66
21 65 40 33 21
61 90 80 48 50
... and so on how would I find the minimum values of each column and remove those numbers from the matrix completely, meaning essentially I would have one less row overall.
I though about using:
[C,I] = min(A);
A(I) = [];
but that wouldn't remove the necessary numbers, and also reshape would not work either. I would like for this to work with an arbitrary number of rows and columns.
A = [
63 55 85 21 71
80 65 85 48 53
55 60 93 71 66
21 65 40 33 21
61 90 80 48 50
];
B = zeros( size(A,1)-1, size(A,2));
for i=1:size(A,2)
x = A(:,i);
maxIndex = find(x==min(x(:)),1,'first');
x(maxIndex) = [];
B(:,i) = x;
end
disp(B);
Another vectorized solution:
M = mat2cell(A,5,ones(1,size(A,2)));
z = cellfun(#RemoveMin,M);
B = cell2mat(z);
disp(B);
function x = RemoveMin(x)
minIndex = find(x==min(x(:)),1,'first');
x(minIndex) = [];
x = {x};
end
Another solution:
[~,I] = min(A);
indexes = sub2ind(size(A),I,1:size(A,2));
B = A;
B(indexes) = [];
out = reshape(B,size(A)-[1 0]);
disp(out);
Personally I prefer the first because:
For loops aren't evil - many times they are actually faster (By using JIT optimizer)
The algorithm is clearer to the developer who reads your code.
But of course, its up to you.
Your original approach works if you convert the row indices resulting from min into linear indices:
[m, n] = size(A);
[~, row] = min(A,[],1);
A(row + (0:n-1)*m) = [];
A = reshape(A, m-1, n);
