How to replace non-zero elements randomly with zero? - matlab

I have a matrix including 1 and 0 elements like below which is used as a network adjacency matrix.
A =
0 1 1 1
1 1 0 1
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 0
I want to simulate an attack on the network, so I must replace some specific percent of 1 elements randomly with 0. How can I do this in MATLAB?
I know how to replace a percentage of elements randomly with zeros, but I must be sure that the element that is replaced randomly, is one of the 1 elements of matrix not zeros.

If you want to change each 1 with a certain probability:
p = 0.1%; % desired probability of change
A_ones = find(A); % linear index of ones in A
A_ones_change = A_ones(rand(size(A_ones))<=p); % entries to be changed
A(A_ones_change) = 0; % apply changes in those entries
If you want to randomly change a fixed fraction of the 1 entries:
f = 0.1; % desired fraction
A_ones = find(A);
n = round(f*length(A_ones));
A_ones_change = randsample(A_ones,n);
A(A_ones_change) = 0;
Note that in this case the resulting fraction may be different to that intended, because of the need to round to an integer number of entries.

#horchler's point is a good one. However, if we keep it simple, then you can just multiple your input matrix to a mask matrix.
>> a1=randint(5,5,[0 1]) #before replacing 1->0
a1 =
1 1 1 0 1
0 1 1 1 0
0 1 0 0 1
0 0 1 0 1
1 0 1 0 1
>> a2=random('unif',0,1,5,5) #Assuming frequency distribution is uniform ('unif')
a2 =
0.7889 0.3200 0.2679 0.8392 0.6299
0.4387 0.9601 0.4399 0.6288 0.3705
0.4983 0.7266 0.9334 0.1338 0.5751
0.2140 0.4120 0.6833 0.2071 0.4514
0.6435 0.7446 0.2126 0.6072 0.0439
>> a1.*(a2>0.1) #And the replacement prob. is 0.1
ans =
1 1 1 0 1
0 1 1 1 0
0 1 0 0 1
0 0 1 0 1
1 0 1 0 0
And other trick can be added to the mask matrix (a2). Such as a different freq. distribution, or a structure (e.g. once a cell is replaced, the adjacent cells become less likely to be replaced and so on.)
Cheers.

The function find is your friend:
indices = find(A);
This will return an array of the indices of 1 elements in your matrix A and you can use your method of replacing a percent of elements with zero on a subset of this array. Then,
A(subsetIndices) = 0;
will replace the remaining indices of A with zero.

Count length and frequency of island of consecutive numbers

I have a sequence of ones and zeros and I would like to count how often islands of consecutive ones appear.
Given:
S = [1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1]
By counting the islands of consecutive ones I mean this:
R = [4 3 1]
…because there are four single ones, three double ones and a single triplet of ones.
So that when multiplied by the length of the islands [1 2 3].
[4 3 1] * [1 2 3]’ = 13
Which corresponds to sum(S), because there are thirteen ones.
I hope to vectorize the solution rather than loop something.
I came up with something like:
R = histcounts(diff( [0 (find( ~ (S > 0) ) ) numel(S)+1] ))
But the result does not make much sense. It counts too many triplets.
All pieces of code I find on the internet revolve around diff([0 something numel(S)]) but the questions are always slightly different and don’t really help me
Thankful for any advice!
The following should do it. Hopefully the comments are clear.
S = [1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1];
% use diff to find the rising and falling edges, padding the start and end with 0
edges = diff([0,S,0]);
% get a list of the rising edges
rising = find(edges==1);
% and falling edges
falling = find(edges==-1);
% and thereby get the lengths of all the runs
SRuns = falling - rising;
% The longest run
maxRun = max(SRuns);
% Finally make a histogram, putting the bin centres
R = hist(SRuns,1:maxRun);
You could also obtain the same result with:
x = find(S==1)-(1:sum(S)) %give a specific value to each group of 1
h = histc(x,x) %compute the length of each group, you can also use histc(x,unique(x))
r = histc(h,1:max(h)) %count the occurence of each length
Result:
r =
4,3,1

Matlab: enter same vector repeatedly to matrix using logical indexing

I would like to enter the same vector of numbers repeatedly to an existing matrix at specific (row) logical indices. This is like an extension of entering just a single number at all logical index positions (at least in my head).
I.e., it is possible to have
mat = zeros(5,3);
rowInd = logical([0 1 0 0 1]); %normally obtained from previous operation
mat(rowInd,1) = 15;
mat =
0 0 0
15 0 0
0 0 0
0 0 0
15 0 0
But I would like to do sth like this
mat(rowInd,:) = [15 6 3]; %rows 2 and 5 should be filled with these numbers
and get an assignment mismatch error.
I want to avoid for loops for the rows or assigning vector elements single file. I have the strong feeling there is an elementary matlab operation that should be able to do this? Thanks!
The problem is that your indexing picks two rows from the matrix and tries to assign a single row to them. You have to replicate the targeted row to fit your indexing:
mat = zeros(5,3);
rowInd = logical([0 1 0 0 1]);
mat(rowInd,:) = repmat([15 6 3],sum(rowInd),1)
This returns:
mat =
0 0 0
15 6 3
0 0 0
0 0 0
15 6 3

Finding X binary numbers with n non-zero digits for large X. - Matlab

Is there a more efficient method for generating X binary numbers (that have n non-zero digits) for a range of 1 to N? I have developed the following solution:
Totalcombos = nchoosek(N,n);
floor = floor(log2(Totalcombos));
L = 2.^floor;
NumElem = 2^N-1;
i=0;
x=1;
%Creates Index combination LUT
while 1
%Produces Binary from 1 : NumElem
binNum= de2bi(x,N,'right-msb')';
x=x+1;
%Finds number of bits in each binary number
NumOfBits = sum(binNum);
%Creates a matrix of binary numbers from 1:NumElem with n 1's
if NumOfBits == n
i=i+1;
ISmatrixShapes{i} = binNum(:,:);
end
if i==L
break
end
end
ISmatrixShape2=cell2mat(ISmatrixShapes);
ISmatrixShape=ISmatrixShape2(:,1:L)';
Is there a way to generate these values without a massive number of loop iterations?
This generates all N-digit binary numbers that have n ones and N-n zeros:
N = 5;
n = 3;
ind = nchoosek(1:N, n);
S = size(ind,1);
result = zeros(S,N);
result(bsxfun(#plus, (ind-1)*S, (1:S).')) = 1;
It works by generating all combinations of n positions of ones out of the N possible positions (nchoosek line), and then filling those values with 1 using linear indexing (bsxfun line).
The result in this example is
result =
1 1 1 0 0
1 1 0 1 0
1 1 0 0 1
1 0 1 1 0
1 0 1 0 1
1 0 0 1 1
0 1 1 1 0
0 1 1 0 1
0 1 0 1 1
0 0 1 1 1
Another, less efficient approach is to generate all permutations of a vector containing n ones and N-n zeros, and then removing duplicates:
result = unique(perms([ones(1,n) zeros(1,N-n)]), 'rows');

Convert digit to vector octave/matlab [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Construct this matrix based on two vectors MATLAB
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a vector y = [0; 2; 4]
I want to convert each element of it into vector, where all elements are zero but element with index equal to digit is 1.
I'd like to do it without loops.
For example [0; 2; 4] should be converted to
[1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0]
(in this example vector first index is 0)
The usual trick with sparse can be used to simplify the process. Let n denote the desired number of columns. Then
result = full(sparse(1:numel(y), y+1, 1, numel(y), n));
For example, y = [0;2;4] and 10 produce
result =
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
First you need to decide how many digits you want to represent each number. In your case, you have 10 digits per number, so let's keep that in mind.
Once you do this, it's just a matter of indexing each element in your matrix. In your case, you have 10 digits per number. As such, do something like this:
y = [0; 2; 4]; %// Your digits array
out = zeros(numel(y), 10); %// 10 digits per number
ind = sub2ind(size(out), [1:numel(y)].', y+1);
out(ind) = 1;
The output should look like this:
out =
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
Let's go through this code slowly. y defines the digits you want per row of the output matrix. out allocates a matrix of zeroes where the number of rows is defined by how many digits you want in y. out will thus store your resulting matrix that you have shown us in your post.
The number of columns is 10, but you change this to be whatever you want. ind uses a command called sub2ind. This allows to completely vectorize the assignment of values in your out matrix and avoids a for loop. The first parameter is an array of values that defines how many rows and columns are in your matrix that you are trying to assign things to. In this case, it's just the size of out. The second and third parameters are the rows and columns you want to access in your matrix. In this case, the rows vary from 1 to as many elements as there are in y. In our case, this is 3. We want to generate one number per row, which is why it goes from 1 to 3. The columns denote where we want to set the digit to one for each row. As MATLAB indexes starting at 1, we have to make sure that we take y and add by 1. ind thus creates the column-major indices in order to access our matrix. The last statement finally accesses these locations and assigns a 1 to each location, thus producing our matrix.
Hope this helps!

specific column [Remove elements up to last zero element, then remove elements from first zero element to the end]

This is a very specific question. I have an M*3 matrix. The first column contains M set of elements. It may follow this.
0
0
0
0
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
0
0
0
0
0
My interest is only 1s and corresponding other column values. I can remove zeros get a new set of matrix with only 1s, but sometimes it may follow this:
1
1
1
0
0
0
0
0
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
0
0
1
1
When the situation is like above I want to disregard 1s in the beginning and remove all the elements in M*3 matrix up to the first 1, then when it reaches second start of zeros in the column it can remove all the values to the end of the column. (so it will be 13*3 matrix).
I'm doing this in matlab.
Thank you :)
Let's call your matrix A:
firstCol = A(:, 1);
indices = find(firstCol);
check = find(diff(indices) ~= 1);
if (isempty(check) )
Afinal = A(indices, :);
else
indices2 = indices(check(1)+1:1:check(2));
Afinal = A(indices2, :);
end
Afinal should be the output you're looking for.
