how shall i keep the particular position of a column of a matrix to to repeat for all other columns?????

this is a code ::::

a1=rand(10,10);

a=a1(:,1);

a=a';

c=ceil(a); %% when err=1 err=1;

    maxValueRowWise=max(a');

    for k=1:length(maxValueRowWise)

        c(a==maxValueRowWise(k))=0;
    end
%     disp('For err=1')
%     c
%%when err=2
err=2;
    s=sort(a,2);

    twoMaxValueRowWise=s(:,end-1:end);

    for k=1:numel(twoMaxValueRowWise)
        c(a==twoMaxValueRowWise(k))=0;
    end
%     disp('For err=2')
%     c
%%when err=3
err=3;
    s=sort(a,2);
    ThreeMaxValueRowWise=s(:,end-2:end);

    for k=1:numel(ThreeMaxValueRowWise)
        c(a==ThreeMaxValueRowWise(k))=0;
    end
%     disp('For err=3')
%     c
    %%when err=4
err=4;
    s=sort(a,2);

    ThreeMaxValueRowWise=s(:,end-3:end);

    for k=1:numel(ThreeMaxValueRowWise)
        c(a==ThreeMaxValueRowWise(k))=0;
    end
    disp('For err=')
    c
     [y]=find(c==0)

here y indicates the position of error now in a1 the y row element every node will give wrong answer if by round(a1) is 1 than 0 else 1.

this whole process will be running for 10 times and in every iteration this y wont change and it will give error. plz plz plz help me out....

question is not clear. Do you want to set maximum value of each column to be zero?

Use a figure to explain the intended output and input

ya here i have set maximum values but can i set as in between values from 0.8 to 0.3.....4 highest values will be taken....?????

[suchismita]

with maximum value first i want to check i can do this or not...than in my assignment i have to do for minimum and in between 0.8 to 0.3

Answer 1

[Andrei Bobrov]

[~,jj] = sort(a(:),'descend');
y1 = sort(jj);
y = y1(1:err);

[suchismita]

can you explain it plzzzz... in a1 if the error positions are 2 8 9 10 then in a(2,:),a(8,:),a(9,:),a(10,:) will say as 0. (only in first column checking for maximum value is done not in others)....this will be carried for 10 iteration and in every iteration 2 8 9 10 will be the error positions
