MATLAB Concatenate vectors with unequal dimensions - matlab

Lets say I have got vector1:
2
3
5
6
7
9
And a vector2:
1
2
3
Now I would like to obtain the following matrix:
2 1
3 2
5 3
6 1
7 2
9 3
That is, I want to add vector2 as a column next to vector1 until the new column is completely filled. I have to do this with a lot of vectors with different sizes. The only thing I know in advance is that the length of vector1 is an integer multiple of the length of vector2.
Any suggestions?

Use repmat to replicate the smaller matrix.
a = [2 3 5 6 7 9]';
b = [1 2 3]';
c = [a repmat(b, length(a) / length(b), 1)]
Result:
c =
2 1
3 2
5 3
6 1
7 2
9 3

You can then replicate the vector:
[vector1, repmat(vector2,n,1)]
where n is your multiple of vector2.

This could be an alternative
[x [y'; y']]

I'm trying to do the following in a general way:
x = {0:1, 2:3, 4:6};
[a,b,c] = ndgrid(x{:});
Res = [a(:), b(:), c(:)]
Res =
0 2 4
1 2 4
0 3 4
1 3 4
0 2 5
1 2 5
0 3 5
1 3 5
0 2 6
1 2 6
0 3 6
1 3 6
I believe I have to start the following way, but I can't figure out how to continue:
cell_grid = cell(1,numel(x));
[cell_grid{:}] = ndgrid(x{:});
[cell_grid{:}]
ans =
ans(:,:,1) =
0 0 2 3 4 4
1 1 2 3 4 4
ans(:,:,2) =
0 0 2 3 5 5
1 1 2 3 5 5
ans(:,:,3) =
0 0 2 3 6 6
1 1 2 3 6 6
I can solve this in many ways for the case with three variables [a, b, c], both with and without loops, but I start to struggle when I get more vectors. Reshaping it directly will not give the correct result, and mixing reshape with permute becomes really hard when I have arbitrary number of dimensions.
Can you think of a clever way to do this that scales to 3-30 vectors in x?
You can use cellfun to flatten each of the cell array elements and then concatenate them along the second dimension.
tmp = cellfun(#(x)x(:), cell_grid, 'uniformoutput', false);
out = cat(2, tmp{:})
Alternately, you could avoid cellfun and concatenate them along the dimension that is one higher than your dimension of each cell_grid member (i.e. numel(x) + 1). Then reshape to flatten all dimensions but the last one you just concatenated along.
out = reshape(cat(numel(x) + 1, cell_grid{:}), [], numel(x));

How do I extract the odd and even rows of my matrix into two separate matrices in scilab?

I'm very new to scilab syntax and can't seem to find a way to extract the even and odd elements of a matrix into two separate matrix, suppose there's a matrix a:
a=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
How do I make two other matrix b and c which will be like
b=[2 4 6 8] and c=[1 3 5 7 9]
You can separate the matrix by calling row and column indices:
a=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
b=a(2:2:end);
c=a(1:2:end);
[2:2:end] means [2,4,6,...length(a)] and [1:2:end]=[1,3,5,...length(a)]. So you can use this tip for every matrix for example if you have a matrix a=[5,4,3,2,1] and you want to obtain the first three elements:
a=[5,4,3,2,1];
b=a(1:1:3)
b=
1 2 3
% OR YOU CAN USE
b=a(1:3)
If you need elements 3 to 5:
a=[5,4,3,2,1];
b=a(3:5)
b=
3 2 1
if you want to elements 5 to 1, i.e. in reverse:
a=[5,4,3,2,1];
b=a(5:-1:1);
b=
1 2 3 4 5
a=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
b = a(mod(a,2)==0);
c = a(mod(a,2)==1);
b =
2 4 6 8
c =
1 3 5 7 9
Use mod to check whether the number is divisible by 2 or not (i.e. is it even) and use that as a logical index into a.
The title is about selecting rows of a matrix, while the body of the question is about elements of a vector ...
With Scilab, for rows just do
a = [1,2,3 ; 4,5,6 ; 7,8,9];
odd = a(1:2:$, :);
even = a(2:2:$, :);
Example:
--> a = [
5 4 6
3 6 5
3 5 4
7 0 7
8 7 2 ];
--> a(1:2:$, :)
ans =
5 4 6
3 5 4
8 7 2
--> a(2:2:$, :)
ans =
3 6 5
7 0 7

How can I go through the columns of a matrix in matlab and add them each to a specific column of a sum matrix in matlab?

Supose there is a Matrix
A =
1 3 2 4
4 2 5 8
6 1 4 9
and I have a Vector containing the "class" of each column of this matrix for example
v = [1 , 1 , 2 , 3]
How can I sum the columns of the matrix to a new matrix as column vectors each to the column of their class? In this example columns 1 and 2 of A would added to the first column of the new matrix, column 2 to the 3 to the 2nd, column 4 the the 3rd.
Like
SUM =
4 2 4
6 5 8
7 4 9
Is this possible without loops?
One of the perfect scenarios to combine the powers of accumarray and bsxfun -
%// Since we are to accumulate columns, first step would be to transpose A
At = A.' %//'
%// Create a vector of linear IDs for use with ACCUMARRAY later on
idx = bsxfun(#plus,v(:),[0:size(A,1)-1]*max(v))
%// Use ACCUMARRAY to accumulate rows from At, i.e. columns from A based on the IDs
out = reshape(accumarray(idx(:),At(:)),[],size(A,1)).'
Sample run -
A =
1 3 2 4 6 0
4 2 5 8 9 2
6 1 4 9 8 9
v =
1 1 2 3 3 2
out =
4 2 10
6 7 17
7 13 17
An alternative with accumarray in 2D. Generate a grid with the vector v and then apply accumarray:
A = A.';
v = [1 1 2 3];
[X, Y] = ndgrid(v,1:size(A,2));
Here X and Y look like this:
X =
1 1 1
1 1 1
2 2 2
3 3 3
Y =
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
Then apply accumarray:
B=accumarray([X(:) Y(:)],A(:)),
SUM = B.'
SUM =
4 2 4
6 5 8
7 4 9
As you see, using [X(:) Y(:)] create the following array:
ans =
1 1
1 1
2 1
3 1
1 2
1 2
2 2
3 2
1 3
1 3
2 3
3 3
in which the vector v containing the "class" is replicated 3 times since there are 3 unique classes that are to be summed up together.
EDIT:
As pointed out by knedlsepp you can get rid of the transpose to A and B like so:
[X2, Y2] = ndgrid(1:size(A,1),v);
B = accumarray([X2(:) Y2(:)],A(:))
which ends up doing the same. I find it a bit more easier to visualize with the transposes but that gives the same result.
How about a one-liner?
result = full(sparse(repmat(v,size(A,1),1), repmat((1:size(A,1)).',1,size(A,2)), A));
Don't optimize prematurely!
The for loop performs fine for your problem:
out = zeros(size(A,1), max(v));
for i = 1:numel(v)
out(:,v(i)) = out(:,v(i)) + A(:,i);
end
BTW: With fine, I mean: fast, fast, fast!

the fastest way to replicate a vector in two direction

I have a vector for which I want to replicate its elements in both row and column directions. I have found that using ones built-in function is faster that m-file functions repmat and kron. I have seen some examples for replicating a vector in one direction, however I could not find how to do it in both direction.
Consider the following example:
a = [1 2 3];
I want to create these matrices:
b = [1 1 1
1 1 1
2 2 2
2 2 2
3 3 3
3 3 3];
and
c = [1 2 3 1 2 3
1 2 3 1 2 3];
How can I do this with ones? It there any faster way?
In my code, the vectors to be replicated are bigger and also I have to do this for many vectors in a for loop. so I am looking for a faster way.
How about if I had a matrix to be replicated? for example:
d = [1 2 3
4 5 6];
and I want to have:
e = [1 2 3 1 2 3
4 5 6 4 5 6
1 2 3 1 2 3
4 5 6 4 5 6];
c and e are straightforward cases for repmat. b is different, the most common suggestion is to use kron(a', ones(2,3)) but here are some alternatives: A similar function to R's rep in Matlab
According to the many answers in that link, the fastest is possibly
reshape(repmat(a, 6, 1), 3, 6)'
You can do it in a simple and ricorsive way:
d = [1 2 3;
4 5 6];
while (!(STOP_CONDITION_OCCURS))
d = [d d; d d];
end;
etc.

Construct columns from submatrices in Matlab

In Matlab, I'm trying to transform a matrix A to another matrix B such that B's columns are made up of square submatrices of A. For example, if A is:
A = [1 1 2 2
1 1 2 2
3 3 4 4
3 3 4 4];
I'd like B to be:
B = [1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4]
A could be, say 16-by-16, and constructing B from 4-by-4 squares would result in B being 4-by-64.
Is there an efficient way to do this using reshape in combination with some other commands? Or some other approach? I am currently iterating in a loop, which is very slow with a large number of large source matrices.
Assume your matrix is a bit more general, and made of 3x2 blocks:
A = [1 1 2 2
1 1 2 2
1 1 2 2
3 3 4 4
3 3 4 4
3 3 4 4
5 5 6 6
5 5 6 6
5 5 6 6];
b = [3 2];
szA = size(A);
Transpose, reshape, permute, reshape.
nb = prod(szA./b); % Number of blocks
nelb = prod(b); % Number of elements per block
out1 = reshape(permute(reshape(A',szA(2),b(1),szA(1)/b(1)),[2,1,3]),nelb,nb)
Alternatively, slower and memory intensive but more readable:
d1 = repmat(b(1),1,szA(1)/b(1));
d2 = repmat(b(2),1,szA(2)/b(2));
out = reshape(mat2cell(A,d1,d2)',1,nelb);
out = reshape([out{:}],nelb,nb)
Now, if the blocks are square, simply set b = [2,2] or b = [3,3], etc..., or simplify the general formulation removing indexing of b and prod.
