MATLAB: Duplicate each element of a vector? [closed]
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
It's hard to explain so I will show an example of what I would like to do:
x = [1 2 3 4 5]
I would like the outcome to be:
x = [1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5]
Preferably without the use of a for loop, but either method would be appreciative.
Thanks.
You can also use the Kronecker tensor product (kron function) which is pretty neat:
x = kron(x,ones(1,2))
x =
1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5
If you want it sorted as you have here, you could do:
y = sort([x x]);
alternatively if the order matters:
y = reshape([x;x],[1,2*length(x)])

Element-wise array replication in Matlab
(7 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I would appreaciate a lot if you help. I am beginner in programming. I am using Matlab. So, I have an array which is 431x1 type - double; there i have numbers 1 to 6; for ex: 1 4 5 3 2 6 6 3 3 5 4 1 ...; what I want to do is I need to make a new array where I would have each element repeat for 11 times; for ex: a(1:11)=1; a(12:22)=4; a(23:33)=5; or to illustrate differently : a=[1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4...];
I tried doing it in a loop but had some problems, which way could you suggest, do you know any function I could take advantage of?
First of all, it would help if you could format your code is separate blocks to make your question easier to read...
Let's say you had an array of length Nx1 as:
x = [1 2 3 4 5 ...]';
You could construct a loop and concatenate as:
for i = 1 : length(x)
for i = 1: length(x)
y(1 + (i - 1) * 11 : 1 + i * 11) = x(i); % Copy to a moving block
end
y(end) = []; % Delete the superfluous one at the end
You could also look at functions like repmat in the MATLAB help for replicating arrays.
Try this (NRepis how many times you want it repeated):
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
NRep = 5;
y = reshape(repmat(x,[NRep,1]),[1,length(x)*NRep])
Since it's a little cumbersome to write that out, I also particularly enjoy to use this "hack":
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
NRep = 5;
y = kron(x, ones(1,NRep));
Hope that helps!
P.S.: This is designed for row vectors only. Though if you need column vectors it's easy to modify.
edit: Of course, if you're post-R2015a you can just use y=repelem(x,NRep). I tend to forget about those because I work on older Matlabs (and sometimes it's not such a bad idea to be a bit backward compatible). Thanks to #rahnema1 for reminding me.

Octave / Matlab: Extend a vector making it repeat itself?
(3 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm trying to take:
a = [1 2 3]
and repeat it 5 times to get:
b = [1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3]
but when I try:
b = repmat(a, 5, 1)
instead I get:
b =
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
I could probably do it with a for loop but I'd like to do it correctly if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Use the following code:
b = repmat(a,1,5)
The numbers '1' and '5' refer to the amount of rows and columns that you want to repeat the matrix a. The order is important.

Construct a matrix from a set of coordinates
(5 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
For example, I have a matrix like A=[1,2,3,4;5,6,7,8;9,10,11,12]. And two array x=[1,1,3,2] and y = [2,4,3,1], which represent X- and Y-coordinate.
And I want to get 4 elements in the matrix [A(1,2);A(1,4);A(3,3);A(2,1)]. I use this code: result = diag(A(x,y)); Although I get what I want, but if I deal with a large matrix, such code runs too slow for me. Dose someone have a better way?
thanks!
Probably not the faster ones, but following are some approaches to this:
A = [1 2 3 4;
5 6 7 8;
9 10 11 12];
x = [1 1 3 2];
y = [2 4 3 1];
%Approach-1 (Yours approach)
diagonal = diag(A(x,y))
%Approach-2
A1=A(x,y); LowUp=A1(tril(triu(A1))~=0)
%Approach-3
EYE= A1((eye(4,4).*A1)~=0)
%Approach-4
findeye=A1(find(eye(size(A1))))
%Approach-5
subind=A(sub2ind(size(A),x,y)).'
%Approach-6
for i=1:4
loop(i)=A(x(i),y(i));
end
loop=loop.'
You need sub2ind
A = [1,2,3,4;
5,6,7,8;
9,10,11,12];
x = [1,1,3,2];
y = [2,4,3,1];
id = sub2ind(size(A),x,y)
id =
4 10 9 2
A(id)
ans =
2 4 11 5

A similar function to R's rep in Matlab [duplicate]
(4 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
A = [1 4 5 2 1 2]
How could I concisely replicate each element n times whilst maintaining the overall order e.g. if n = 3, the desired result would be:
[1 1 1 4 4 4 5 5 5 2 2 2 1 1 1 2 2 2]
For Matlab R2015a or higher use repelem
n = 3;
u = repelem(A,n)
For older versions use bsxfun
n = 3;
u = bsxfun(#mtimes ,A(:).',ones(n,1))
u = u(:)
You could do the following:
reshape(repmat(a',[3 1]),[],1)

Octave / Matlab: Extend a vector making it repeat itself?

If I have a small array like a=[1 2 3 4 5], and want to build a large array from it with repeating it, like b=[1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 ....1 2 3 4 5], how can I do that in simplest way and lowest calculations?
repmat is what you are looking for
n = 5
b = repmat(a,1,n)
