Multiple summations in one formula

Hi all,

I'm not very good at matlab and trying incorporate the above formula. I'm trying to do part (2) and (3) first, to get them more easily in the complete formula.

I am struggling with (3): Y is in my case a 101x14 matrix and I think the mean should then be one number. I can obviously take the mean of the columns and rows seperately, yielding a 101x1 and a 14x1 vector, but these are obvousily not compatible for matrix multiplication.

Any advice on how to make this work better?

Additionally, am I correct doing the following instead of symsum?

M = 1; % Test day
N = 14; % Number of runs (or repetitions)
T = 101; % Number of time points    

    for n = 1:N
        for t = 1:T
            R2 = ....
        end
    end
        

Many thanks in advance!

You can use for loops to do the sum or use the sum function:

clc; clear; close all force;

M = 1; % Test day
N = 14; % Number of runs (or repetitions)
T = 101; % Number of time points    

Y = rand(M,N,T); % random data to illustrate

% using for loops
Yi_for = zeros(M,1);
for i=1:M
    for j=1:N
        for t=1:T
            Yi_for(i) = Yi_for(i) + Y(i,j,t);
        end
    end
    Yi_for(i) = Yi_for(i)/N/T;
end

% using sums
Yi_sum = zeros(M,1);
for i=1:M
    Yi_sum(i) = sum(sum(Y,2),3)/N/T;
end

You can expand this to calculate the average at time point t on the ith test day:

% Yit should be a matrix
Yit = zeros(M,T);
for i=1:M
    for t=1:T
        for j=1:N
            Yit(i,t) = Yit(i,t)+Y(i,j,t);
        end
        Yit(i,t) = Yit(i,t)/N;
    end
end

With Yi and Yit previously calculated, you can define Ra (I splitted the calculations of the numerator and denominator of the fraction to make it clearer):

% Ra
Yi = Yi_sum;
Ra = 1;

% partial sums
num = 0; % numerator
for i=1:M
    for j=1:N
        for t=1:T
            num = num + (Y(i,j,t)-Yit(i,t))^2/M/T/(N-1);
        end
    end
end

den = 0; % denominator
for i=1:M
    for j=1:N
        for t=1:T
            den = den + (Y(i,j,t)-Yi(i))^2/M/(N*T-1);
        end
    end
end

Ra2 = 1-num/den

Thank you for the stepswise explanation!

This was really helpful!

This well definetely get me where I need to be, many thanks :)

By my answer is better :(

Shorter version

clc,clear

Yit = repmat( mean(Yijt,2), [1 N 1] );	% get mean and make 3D matrix
Yi = mean(mean(Yijt,2),3);		        % get mean 2d and 3d dimensions
Yi = repmat( Yi, [1 N T] );                   % make 3D matrix
upsum = (Yijt-Yit).^2;
botsum = (Yijt-Yi).^2;
R2a = 1 - sum(upsum(:))/sum(botsum(:)) * T*(N-1)/(N*T-1);

Hi Darova,

Since I am still trying get my head around implementing stuff from other in matlab, the long answer helped me a bit better to understand all the steps :) But thank you for the reply!
