transforming a script for a matrix to a cell array
이전 댓글 표시
a = randi(50,600,9);
mx = randi(50,60,1);
mn = randi(50,60,1);
b = reshape(a(:,7),10,[]).';
q = bsxfun(@minus,b,mx);
%q = bsxfun(@rdivide,q,mx-mn);
%q = reshape(q.',[],1);
How can I apply this code which has been designed for a matrix table to a cell array?
Imagine the following
a = { rand(6000,7); rand(3600,7); rand(600,7); };
mx = {randi(50,600,1); randi(360,60,1); randi(50,60,1)}
mn = {randi(50,600,1); randi(360,60,1); randi(50,60,1)}

Note that a table is another data class in MATLAB, and is neither a cell array nor a numeric array .
In your question you give examples of cell arrays a, mx and mn, all of which have dimensions 3x1.
Now you state that a should be 1x3, and both of mx and mn should be 3x61.
I understand that the numbers of rows of the numeric arrays contained within mx and mn is a divisor of those within a. We dealt with this in an earlier question. However we now have a different issue: what kind of operation do you wish to perform on the arrays a, mn and mx ? Currently these cell arrays are all different sizes... do we ignore the extra elements, replicate the smaller arrays, or perform our operation on a scalar of the small array but an array-subset of the larger array?

Why must the numeric arrays in a contain six unused columns?

The six unused columns are not needed but they are in my original work and this is why I included them. they could be deleted.
From cell array a I just need column 7 from each matrix in each cell. I want to perform the operation on a scalar of the small array. So the output is in a cell array format of {3x61}. The output should look like the picture below. I created a table with excel to show how the cell array should look like.
Okay, so the six unused columns are not a problem for you :)
Lets sort out the cell array sizes: The most recent definition is that a is 1x3, and mx and mn are each 3x61. Usually one tries to operate on corresponding elements (ie F(a(x,y),mn(x,y)), but as you can see if x>1 or y>3 then we run out of a, as it is simply not the same size as mx or mn.
It is not clear to me why you need the cell arrays at all. I have a feeling that these might be making the issue more complicated than it needs to be... it really would be much easier to create the results using numeric arrays, and split it into a cell array afterwards (iff required).
So a is actually size 3x1, and not 1x3 as you stated earlier?
This might seem like a pedantic point, but MATLAB was primarily written by (and for) mathematicians, and in mathematics, array dimensions really matter...
This is quite different to some languages, where they will assume that you want to match dimensions that seem to be similar... this is simply not strict enough for mathematicians ;)

It seems that you want to apply a function to multiple numeric arrays contained in several cell arrays. There are essentially two ways to achieve this:
- Use a loop over the length of the arrays.
- Use cellfun .
Note that a loop can be achieved in a script, whereas cellfun would (most likely) require a function to be defined. cellfun can be a tidy solution, as it allows local code to show intent by defining a complicated function elsewhere. In any case, the following code will apply that function to those cell arrays, using loops:
a = {rand(6000,7); rand(3600,7); rand(600,7)};
mx = {randi(50,600,1); randi(50,360,1); randi(50,60,1)};
mn = {randi(50,600,1); randi(50,360,1); randi(50,60,1)};
q = a;
for k = 1:numel(q)
b = reshape(a{k}(:,7),10,[]).';
b = bsxfun(@minus,b,mx{k});
b = bsxfun(@rdivide,b,mx{k}-mn{k});
q{k} = reshape(b.',[],1);
end
Note that this code includes several corrections to what you supplied above, as the dimensions of randi(360,60,1) will lead to an error. I also uncommented the last two lines of the algorithm, as these are required to match the function that you gave in an earlier question.

The statement here is highly ambiguous:
b = reshape(a(:,7),60,[])
---> I want all the matrix columns in cell array a to be reshaped into blocks of 60
- in this example, a is not a cell array, so it makes little sense in the context to talk about reshaping cell arrays.
- the code a(:,7) produces an Nx1 array (i.e. a column vector), so there is only one column. Which "all the matrix columns" are you referring to?
If we take a as the 600x9 numeric of your original question, then of course the columns can be manipulated at every sixtieth element. The question is, how? We can split the numeric into a cell array, reshape it, or perform many other shape manipulations... please advise!

This works, with cell arrays mx and mn of both of size 3x2, and a of size 3x1. As you mentioned, tranpose might be useful, but keep an eye on the size functions if you change the array orientation.
a = {rand(6000,7); rand(3600,7); rand(600,7)};
mx = {randi(50,600,1), randi(50,600,1); randi(50,360,1), randi(50,360,1); randi(50,60,1), randi(50,60,1)};
mn = {randi(50,600,1), randi(50,600,1); randi(50,360,1), randi(50,360,1); randi(50,60,1), randi(50,60,1)};
q = mx;
for x = 1:size(q,1)
for y = size(mx,2)
b = reshape(a{x}(:,7),10,[]).';
b = bsxfun(@minus,b,mx{x,y});
b = bsxfun(@rdivide,b,mx{x,y}-mn{x,y});
q{x,y} = reshape(b.',[],1);
end
end
Why does b need to be a cell array? On every loop b gets completely redefined and its values are assigned to q. There is no need to store its data in a cell array, unless you particularly need to have these intermediate value later...
Which cells are "lost" ? Can you indicate which ones are concerning you?

Glad to be able to help. I hope you feel more comfortable with loops and arrays now :)
