MATLAB plot with sorted order - matlab

I have two vectors in MATLAB, say:
x = [1 20 3 7 10]
and
y = [2 51 1 9 18]
How can I plot y vs K where x has sorted value order (1 3 7 10 20) with their respective y values like the following?
x = [1 3 7 10 20]
y = [2 1 9 18 51]

Call sort with a second output argument.
x = [1 20 3 7 10]
y = [2 51 1 9 18]
[xsorted, I] = sort(x)
ysorted = y(I)

XY = sortrows([x ; y]');
plot(XY(:,1), XY(:,2));
Concatenate the matrices, transpose them and then you can use sortrows to order by X

How to manipulate matrix addition and multiplication for Euclidean distance computation?

I have the following:
A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
B = [10 11 12; 13 14 15];
[N1, D1] = size(A);
[N2, D2] = size(B);
A_sq = sum(A.^2, 2);
B_sq = sum(B.^2, 2)';
D = A_sq(:,ones(1,N2)) + B_sq(ones(1,N1),:) - 2.*(A*B');
where D is N1 x D1 matrix.
I want to write expression for D in one single step, i.e., something like this (this is for illustration purpose, but it should compute the same Euclidean distance as the code above):
D = sum(A - B).^2;
I will appreciate any advise.
If you have the Statistics Toolbox you can use pdist2, which does just that:
D = pdist2(A,B).^2
Or you can do it manually with bsxfun and permute:
D = permute((sum(bsxfun(#minus, A, permute(B, [3 2 1])).^2,2)), [1 3 2]);
For your example matrices
A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
B = [10 11 12; 13 14 15];
either of the above gives
D =
243 432
108 243
27 108

How does 2d interpolation over 1d works using interp2 in matlab?

Need some help understanding the interp2.Here is example
[x y] = meshgrid([1:4],[1:4]);
l = [ 5 6 7 8;9 10 11 12;13 14 15 16; 17 18 19 20];
m = [ 1 2 3 4];
n = [2 3 4 5];
c = interp2(x,y,l,m,n);
How does 2d x y matrix getting interpolated over 1D m and n matrix. I will appreciate your help. Thank you
In your case, you are interpolating at the points (1,2) (2,3) (3,4) (4,5). First three are elements of your input, they are basically copied. The last one is not within your input range so it's NAN

Creating Matrix with a loop in Matlab

I want to create a matrix of the following form
Y = [1 x x.^2 x.^3 x.^4 x.^5 ... x.^100]
Let x be a column vector.
or even some more variants such as
Y = [1 x1 x2 x3 (x1).^2 (x2).^2 (x3).^2 (x1.x2) (x2.x3) (x3.x1)]
Let x1,x2 and x3 be column vectors
Let us consider the first one. I tried using something like
Y = [1 : x : x.^100]
But this also didn't work because it means take Y = [1 x 2.*x 3.*x ... x.^100] ?
(ie all values between 1 to x.^100 with difference x)
So, this also cannot be used to generate such a matrix.
Please consider x = [1; 2; 3; 4];
and suggest a way to generate this matrix
Y = [1 1 1 1 1;
1 2 4 8 16;
1 3 9 27 81;
1 4 16 64 256];
without manually having to write
Y = [ones(size(x,1)) x x.^2 x.^3 x.^4]
Use this bsxfun technique -
N = 5; %// Number of columns needed in output
x = [1; 2; 3; 4]; %// or [1:4]'
Y = bsxfun(#power,x,[0:N-1])
Output -
Y =
1 1 1 1 1
1 2 4 8 16
1 3 9 27 81
1 4 16 64 256
If you have x = [1 2; 3 4; 5 6] and you want Y = [1 1 1 2 4; 1 3 9 4 16; 1 5 25 6 36] i.e. Y = [ 1 x1 x1.^2 x2 x2.^2 ] for column vectors x1, x2 ..., you can use this one-liner -
[ones(size(x,1),1) reshape(bsxfun(#power,permute(x,[1 3 2]),1:2),size(x,1),[])]
Using an adapted Version of the code found in Matlabs vander()-Function (which is also to be found in the polyfit-function) one can get a significant speedup compared to Divakars nice and short solution if you use something like this:
N = 5;
x = [1:4]';
V(:,n+1) = ones(length(x),1);
for j = n:-1:1
V(:,j) = x.*V(:,j+1);
end
V = V(:,end:-1:1);
It is about twice as fast for the example given and it gets about 20 times as fast if i set N=50 and x = [1:40]'. Although I state that is not easy to compare the times, just as an option if speed is an issue, you might have a look at this solution.
in octave, broadcasting allows to write
N=5;
x = [1; 2; 3; 4];
y = x.^(0:N-1)
output -
y =
1 1 1 1 1
1 2 4 8 16
1 3 9 27 81
1 4 16 64 256

What does A=[x; y'] in Matlab mean?

I'm learning Matlab and I see a line that I don't understand:
A=[x; y']
What does it mean? ' usually means the transponate but I don't know what ; means in the vector. Can you help me?
The [ ] indicates create a matrix.
The ; indicates that the first vector is on the first line, and that the second one is on the second line.
The ' indicates the transponate.
Exemple :
>> x = [1,2,3,4]
x =
1 2 3 4
>> y = [5;6;7;8]
y =
5
6
7
8
>> y'
ans =
5 6 7 8
>> A = [x;y']
A =
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
[x y] means horizontal cat of the vectors, while [x;y] means vertical.
For example (Horizontal cat):
x = [1
2
3];
y = [4
5
6];
[x y] = [1 4
2 5
3 6];
(Vertical cat):
x = [1 2 3];
y = [4 5 6];
[x; y] =
[1 2 3;
4 5 6];
Just to be clear, in MATLAB ' is the complex conjugate transpose. If you want the non-conjugating transpose, you should use .'.
It indicates the end of a row when creating a matrix from other matrices.
For example
X = [1 2];
Y = [3,4]';
A = [X; Y']
gives a matrix
A = [ 1 2 ]
[ 3 4 ]
This is called vertical concatenation which basically means forming a matrix in row by row fashion from other matrices (like the example above). And yes you are right about ' indicating the transpose operator. As another example you could use it to create a transposed vector as follows
Y = [1 2 3 4 5];
X = [1; 2; 3; 4; 5];
Y = Y';
Comparing the above you will see that X is now equal to Y. Hope this helps.
Let set the size of x m*n (m rows and n columns) and the size of y n*p.
Then A is the matrix formed by the vertical concatenation of x and the transpose of y (operator '), and its size is (m+p)*n. The horizontal concatenation is done with comma instead of semi-column.
This notation is a nice shorthand for function vertcat.
See http://www.mathworks.fr/help/techdoc/math/f1-84864.html for more information
The semicolon ' ; ' is used to start a new row.
e.g. x=[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] means
x= 1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
So if u take x=[1 2 3; 4 5 6] and y=[7 8 9]'
then z=[x; y'] means
z= 1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

Splice matlab vectors

I have two matlab vectors. The first has N elements, the other has k*N. I know what k is, and I want to splice the lists such that each element from the first vector appears before the corresponding k elements from the next vector. For example:
k = 3
x = [1 5 9]
y = [2 3 4 6 7 8 10 11 12]
should be combined to look like this:
z = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12]
Is there an easy way to do this quickly? My x's and y's are pretty big. Thanks!
You can do this via some reshaping
k = 3
x = [1 5 9]
y = [2 3 4 6 7 8 10 11 12]
%# make a k-by-n array
z = reshape(y,k,[]);
%# catenate with x
z = [x;z];
%# reorder
z = z(:)'
