Remove any column with same values in MATLAB - matlab

I need to remove any column in a matrix which has same values in it. I designed it using a for-loop in MATLAB. I wanted to know if a better/faster way exists using vectorization.
mat = [ 0.56 0.2 1 0 45; 0.566 0.2 4 0 45; 0.52 0.2 6 0 45; 0.56 0.2 6 0 41 ];
[row col] = size(mat) ;
bitmat = true(1,col) ;
for i = 2:row, tf = (mat(i-1,:) == mat(i,:)) ; bitmat = bitmat & tf ; end
mat(:,bitmat) = [] ;
Thanks!

Here's a simple one-liner using the functions DIFF and ANY:
mat = mat(:,any(diff(mat,1)));

How to insert rows and columns of zeros into Matlab Matrix

I have a 3x3 matrix, k1, that I would like to convert into a 5x5 matrix, k1g. k1g is created by inserting zeros into certain rows and columns of k1. In this case I would like to insert zeros into rows 3 and 4 and columns 3 and 4, and keep existing values from k1 matrix. The code below accomplishes what I am trying to do but seems that it is a long method and I need to do this many times in numerous problems.
clc
clear all
format long;
k1 = [20,50,-20;
60,20,-20;
-20,-20,40]
k1g = zeros(5,5);
k1g(1:2,1:2) = k1(1:2,1:2);
k1g(5:5,1:2) = k1(3:3,1:2);
k1g(1:2,5:5) = k1(1:2,3:3);
k1g(5,5) = k1(3,3)
Here is output of above code:
k1 =
20 50 -20
60 20 -20
-20 -20 40
k1g =
20 50 0 0 -20
60 20 0 0 -20
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0
-20 -20 0 0 40
Is there a better way to accomplish this?
You just need to generalise your approach. e.g. with:
function k1g = rowcolsof0s(k1,rowsof0s,colsof0s)
k1g = ones(size(k1)+[numel(rowsof0s) numel(colsof0s)]); %Initialising matrix with ones
k1g(rowsof0s,:) = 0; %Changing the elements of desired rows to zeros
k1g(:,colsof0s) = 0; %Changing the elements of desired columns to zeros
k1g(logical(k1g)) = k1; %Transferring the contents of k1 into k1g
end
Now call that function with:
rowsof0s = [3 4]; %rows where you want to insert zeros
colsof0s = [3 4]; %columns where you want to insert zeros
k1g = rowcolsof0s(k1, rowsof0s, colsof0s);

Copy element of matrix to a vector MATLAB

Assume we have a matrix A (2x5), with the first row containing the numbers:
1 2 3 5 7
and the second row:
0.4 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.2
Also, there is a 10 dimensional vector B with numbers 1,2,3...10.
How can I create a new 10 dimensional vector C that will only contain the values of A (second row) when A(1,:) == B, else 0.
So the new vector C should have the form:
0.4 0.1 0.2 0 0.1 0 0.2 0 0 0
(add zero for the cells of B that are not in A).
I tried this solution but I have a problem due to the difference in dimensions between A and B.
for i=1:53
if B(i) == A(1,i)
C{1,i} = A(2,i);
else
C{1,i}=0;
end
end
Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
It's not very clear what you're after, but this at least gives the desired output:
A = [1 2 3 5 7; 0.4 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.2];
B = 1:10;
[tf,loc] = ismember(A(1,:), B);
C = zeros(1,10);
C(loc(tf)) = A(2,tf)
[I'm assuming you mean 10 element vector, rather than 10 dimensional...]
If you just want to use the first row of A as indices and the second row as assigned values, then you don't need to use B at all and you can do something like this:
A = [1 2 3 5 7; 0.4 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.2];
C = zeros(1,10);
C(A(1,:)) = A(2,:)
How about removing the for loop and do it inline using ismember function:
A = [1 2 3 5 7; 0.4 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.2];
B = 1:10;
C = zeros(1,10);
C(B(ismember(B, A(1,:)))) = A(2,ismember(A(1,:),B));
Hint: Even if we happen to have a value in A(1,:) which B does not have, this solution will work.
Using ismember and a for loop:
clc; clear;
A=[
1 2 3 5 7;
0.4 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.2
];
B = 1:10;
C = zeros(1,10);
for j = 1:10
if ismember(j, A(1,:))
C(j) = A(2, A(1,:) == j);
else
C(j) = 0;
end
end

Is it possible to vectorize procedural operations (for/if ) in Matlab?

I wonder if the following code can be vectorized? Or, more straightforward, I am trying to match a number to several intervals, the result of which determines the update of a increment process. Thanks a lot!
pop_matrix = [10 0 0 0 0 0];
rand_num =rand;
divid = [0.05 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.1];
for i = 1:6
if rand_num < sum(divid(1:i))
pop_matrix(i) = pop_matrix(i)+1;
break
end
end
The following should work:
pop_matrix = [10 0 0 0 0 0];
rand_num =rand;
divid = [0.05 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.1];
idx = find(cumsum(divid) > rand_num,1);
pop_matrix(idx) = pop_matrix(idx) + 1;
EDIT: A method using interp1 which is about 10x faster, assuming you want to draw N samples from the distribution called divid:
pop_matrix = [10 0 0 0 0 0];
divid = [0.05 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.1];
N = 1000; %// number of random samples to take
rand_num = rand(N,1); %// generate N random numbers
dcs = cumsum(divid); %// get cumulative distribution
dcs = dcs/dcs(end); %// ensure this is normalized to 1
dcs = [0,dcs]; %// put a zero in front to create a new bin
s = interp1(dcs, 1:length(dcs), rand_num, 'previous', NaN); %// draw samples
pop_matrix = pop_matrix + accumarray(s,1)'; %'//add up samples together
This process is basically sampling from the probability distribution defined by divid using the Inverse Transform Sampling method, where dcs is the distribution's cumulative density function (CDF).

matrix dimensions matlab

I Have my function below, the idea being that X is a 3x3 extract from T to be used in the loop, it correctly extracts the 3 rows but for some reason produces far too many columns, see example below.
function T = tempsim(rows, cols, topNsideTemp, bottomTemp, tol)
T = zeros(rows,cols);
T(1,:) = topNsideTemp;
T(:,1) = topNsideTemp;
T(:,rows) = topNsideTemp;
T(rows,:) = bottomTemp;
S = [0 1 0; 1 1 1; 0 1 0];
X = zeros(3,3);
A = zeros(3,3);
for ii = 2:(cols-1);
jj = 2:(rows-1);
X = T([(ii-1) ii (ii+1)], [(jj-1) jj (jj+1)])
A = X.*S;
T = (sum(sum(A)))/5
end
test sample
EDU>> T = tempsim(5,4,100,50,0)
X =
100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100
100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 100
100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 100
ans =
100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100
100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 100
100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 100
??? Error using ==> times
Matrix dimensions must agree.
Error in ==> tempsim at 14
A = X.*S;
any thoughts on how to fix this?
There's no need to preallocate X and A if you do a complete assignment anyway. Then, you replace T with a scalar inside the loop, which makes you run into problems in the next iteration. What I'm guessing you want could look something like this:
function T = tempsim(rows, cols, topNsideTemp, bottomTemp, tol)
T = zeros(rows,cols);
T(1,:) = topNsideTemp;
T(:,1) = topNsideTemp;
T(:,rows) = topNsideTemp;
T(rows,:) = bottomTemp;
S = [0 1 0; 1 1 1; 0 1 0];
for ii = 1:(cols-2);
for jj = 1:(rows-2);
X = T(ii:ii+2, jj:jj+2);
A = X.*S;
T(ii,jj) = (sum(sum(A)))/5;
end
end
Although I'm not sure if you really mean to do that – you're working on T while modifying it. As a wild guess, I suspect you might be looking for something like
conv2(T, S/5, 'same')
instead, perhaps after making your fixed-temp borders twice as thick and re-setting them after the call (since conv2 does zero-padding at the outer borders).
Here:
jj = 2:(rows-1);
X = T([(ii-1) ii (ii+1)], [(jj-1) jj (jj+1)])
jj becomes [2 3 4]
so X is
T([1 2 3], [ [2 3 4]-1 [2 3 4] [2 3 4]+1 ])
You probably missed a for loop.

MATLAB matrix not formatting correctly

I have some code below, and I cant seem to get the matrices formatted correctly. I have been trying to get the matrices to look more professional (close together) with \t and fprintf, but cant seem to do so. I am also having some trouble putting titles for each columns of the matrix. Any help would be much appreciated!

I didn't dig into what you are doing really deeply, but a few pointers:
* Put semicolons at the end of lines you don't want printing to the screen--it makes it easier to see what is happening elsewhere.
* Your for j=1:A loop only prints j. I think what you want is more like this:
for row = 1:size(A,1)
for column = 1:size(A,2)
fprintf('%10.2f', A(row,column));
end
fprintf('\n');
end
If you haven't used the Matlab debugger yet, give it a try; it makes a lot of these problems easier to spot. All you have to do to start it is to add a breakpoint to the file by clicking on the dash(-) next to the line numbers and starting the script. Quick web searches can turn up the solution very quickly too--someone else has usually already had any problem you're going to run into.
Good luck.
Try using num2str with a format argument of your desired precision. It's meant for converting matrices to strings. (note: this is different than mat2str which serializes matrices so they can be deserialized with eval)
