I would like to get the error rate of 2 vectors?
like
# incorrect numbers 6
error rate = ______________________ = ____
# total numbers(size) 15
here are 15 numbers, 9 are correct
x is the true answer (the reference), and y is vector with answers
I would like to compare them and get error rate:
x= [1 ,1,1, 1,1, 1,1,1,1,1, 1,-1,-1,-1,-1]
y= [-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,1,1,1,1,-1, 1,-1, 1,-1]
Also is it corret what I am doing?
Ok I was wrong about the formula I updated it.
If you want the error rate, then you want the number of incorrect values divided by the total number of values. You can do this using the relational operator ~= and the function MEAN:
errorRate = mean(x ~= y);
Another version that works:
length(find(x~=y))/length(y)

I am working on developing a suite classifiers for EEG signals and I will be needing a zero-crossings around mean function, defined in the following manner:
Ideally if I have some vector with a range of values representing a sinusoid or any time varying signal, I will want to return a vector of Booleans of the same size as the vector saying if that particular value is a mean crossing. I have the following Matlab implementation:
ZX = #(x) sum(((x - mean(x)>0) & (x - mean(x)<0)) | ((x - mean(x)<0) & (x - mean(x)>0)));
Testing it on toy data:
[0 4 -6 9 -20 -5]
Yields:
0
EDIT:
Yet I believe it should return:
3
What am I missing here?
An expression like:
((x-m)>0) & ((x-m)<0)
is always going to return a vector of all zeros because no individual element of x is both greater and less than zero. You need to take into account the subscripts on the xs in the definition of ZX:
((x(1:end-1)-m)>0) & ((x(2:end)-m)<0)
You can use the findpeaks function on -abs(x), where x is your original data, to find the peak locations. This would give you the zero crossings in general for continuous signals which do not have zero as an actual maximum of the signal.
t = 0:0.01:10;
x = sin(pi*t);
plot(t,x)
grid
y = -abs(x);
[P,L] = findpeaks(y,t);
hold on
plot(L,P,'*')
A simple solution is to use movprod, and count the products which are negative, i.e.,
cnt = sum(sign(movprod(x-mean(x),2))<0);
With your toy example, you will get cnt = 3.
I am trying to resolve why the following Matlab syntax does not work.
I have an array
A = [2 3 4 5 8 9...]
I wish to create an indexed cumulative, for example
s(1) = 2; s(2)=5, s(3)=9; ... and so on
Can someone please explain why the following does not work
x = 1:10
s(x) = sum(A(1:x))
The logic is that if a vector is created for s using x, why would not the sum function behave the same way? The above returns just the first element (2) for all x.
For calculating the cumulative sum, you should be using cumsum:
>> A = [2 3 4 5 8 9]
A =
2 3 4 5 8 9
>> cumsum(A)
ans =
2 5 9 14 22 31
The issue is that 1:x is 1 and that sum reduces linear arrays. To do this properly, you need a 2d array and then sum the rows:
s(x)=sum(triu(repmat(A,[prod(size(A)) 1])'))
You are asking two questions, really. One is - how do I compute the cumulative sum. #SouldEc's answer already shows how the cumsum function does that. Your other question is
Can someone please explain why the following does not work
x = 1:10
s(x) = sum(A(1:x))
It is reasonable - you think that the vector expansion should turn
1:x
into
1:1
1:2
1:3
1:4
etc. But in fact the arguments on either side of the colon operator must be scalars - they cannot be vectors themselves. I'm surprised that you say Matlab isn't throwing an error with your two lines of code - I would have expected that it would (I just tested this on Freemat, and it complained...)
So the more interesting question is - how would you create those vectors (if you didn't know about / want to use cumsum)?
Here, we could use arrayfun. It evaluates a function with an array as input element-by-element; this can be useful for a situation like this. So if we write
x = 1:10;
s = arrayfun(#(n)sum(A(1:n)), x);
This will loop over all values of x, substitute them into the function sum(A(1:n)), and voila - your problem is solved.
But really - the right answer is "use cumsum()"...
Actually what you are doing is
s(1:10)= sum(A(1:[1,2,3...10]))
what you should do is
for i=1:10
s(i)=sum(A(1:i))
end
hope it will help you
I have the following function:
I have to generate 2000 random numbers from this function and then make a histogram.
then I have to determine how many of them is greater that 2 with P(X>2).
this is my function:
%function [ output_args ] = Weibullverdeling( X )
%UNTITLED Summary of this function goes here
% Detailed explanation goes here
for i=1:2000
% x= rand*1000;
%x=ceil(x);
x=i;
Y(i) = 3*(log(x))^(6/5);
X(i)=x;
end
plot(X,Y)
and it gives me the following image:
how can I possibly make it to tell me how many values Do i Have more than 2?
Very simple:
>> Y_greater_than_2 = Y(Y>2);
>> size(Y_greater_than_2)
ans =
1 1998
So that's 1998 values out of 2000 that are greater than 2.
EDIT
If you want to find the values between two other values, say between 1 and 4, you need to do something like:
>> Y_between = Y(Y>=1 & Y<=4);
>> size(Y_between)
ans =
1 2
This is what I think:
for i=1:2000
x=rand(1);
Y(i) = 3*(log(x))^(6/5);
X(i)=x;
end
plot(X,Y)
U is a uniform random variable from which you can get the X. So you need to use rand function in MATLAB.
After which you implement:
size(Y(Y>2),2);
You can implement the code directly (here k is your root, n is number of data points, y is the highest number of distribution, x is smallest number of distribution and lambda the lambda in your equation):
X=(log(x+rand(1,n).*(y-x)).*lambda).^(1/k);
result=numel(X(X>2));
Lets split it and explain it detailed:
You want the k-th root of a number:
number.^(1/k)
you want the natural logarithmic of a number:
log(number)
you want to multiply sth.:
numberA.*numberB
you want to get lets say 1000 random numbers between x and y:
(x+rand(1,1000).*(y-x))
you want to combine all of that:
x= lower_bound;
y= upper_bound;
n= No_Of_data;
lambda=wavelength; %my guess
k= No_of_the_root;
X=(log(x+rand(1,n).*(y-x)).*lambda).^(1/k);
So you just have to insert your x,y,n,lambda and k
and then check
bigger_2 = X(X>2);
which would return only the values bigger than 2 and if you want the number of elements bigger than 2
No_bigger_2=numel(bigger_2);
I'm going to go with the assumption that what you've presented is supposed to be a random variate generation algorithm based on inversion, and that you want real-valued (not complex) solutions so you've omitted a negative sign on the logarithm. If those assumptions are correct, there's no need to simulate to get your answer.
Under the stated assumptions, your formula is the inverse of the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF). It's complementary because smaller values of U give larger values of X, and vice-versa. Solve the (corrected) formula for U. Using the values from your Matlab implementation:
X = 3 * (-log(U))^(6/5)
X / 3 = (-log(U))^(6/5)
-log(U) = (X / 3)^(5/6)
U = exp(-((X / 3)^(5/6)))
Since this is the CCDF, plugging in a value for X gives the probability (or proportion) of outcomes greater than X. Solving for X=2 yields 0.49, i.e., 49% of your outcomes should be greater than 2.
Make suitable adjustments if lambda is inside the radical, but the algebra leading to solution is similar. Unless I messed up my arithmetic, the proportion would then be 55.22%.
If you still are required to simulate this, knowing the analytical answer should help you confirm the correctness of your simulation.

I have two vectors of values and I want to compare them statistically. For simplicity assume A = [2 3 5 10 15] and B = [2.5 3.1 4.8 10 18]. I want to compute the standard deviation, the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean, and present conveniently, maybe as histogram. Can you please help me how to do it so that I understand? I know question is probably simple, but I am new into this. Many thanks!
edited:
This is how I wanted to implement RMSE.
dt = 1;
for k=1:numel(A)
err(k)=sqrt(sum(A(1,1:k)-B(1,1:k))^2/k);
t(k) = dt*k;
end
However it gives me bigger values than I expect, since e.g. 3 and 3.1 differ only in 0.1.
This is how I calculate error between reference value of each cycle with corresponding estimated in that cycle.
Can you tell me, am I doing right, or what's wrong?
abs_err = A-B;
The way you are looping through the vectors is not element by element but rather by increasing the vector length, that is, you are comparing the following at each iteration:
A(1,1:k) B(1,1:k)
-------- --------
k=1 [2] [2.5]
=2 [2 3] [2.5 3.1]
=3 [2 3 5] [2.5 3.1 4.8]
....
At no point do you compare only 2 and 2.1!
Assuming A and B are vectors of identical length (and both are either column or row vectors), then you want functions std(A-B), mean(A-B), and if you look in matlab exchange, you will find a user-contributed rmse(A-B) but you can also compute the RMSE as sqrt(mean((A-B).^2)). As for displaying a histogram, try hist(A-B).
In your case:
dt = 1;
for k=1:numel(A)
stdab(k) = std(A(1,1:k)-B(1,1:k));
meanab(k) = mean(A(1,1:k)-B(1,1:k));
err(k)=sqrt(mean((A(1,1:k)-B(1,1:k)).^2));
t(k) = dt*k;
end
You can also include hist(A(1,1:k)-B(1,1:k)) in the loop if you want to compute histograms for every vector pair difference A(1,1:k)-B(1,1:k).
