how to vectorize the following for loop? - arrays

can any one help me to Vectorized this loop.
i have large Matrix and i want to replace all the pixel values whose length is less then some threshold Value For simplicity lets say
a = randi([1 5],10,10);
for i = 1:length(a)
someMat=a(a==i);
if length(someMat)<20
a(a==i)=0;
end
end
but its killing me.
Example:
a = randi([1 5],10,10)
a =
5 2 1 5 5 5 2 2 3 2
3 3 5 4 4 4 3 1 1 5
5 1 3 5 3 3 4 1 3 1
3 1 5 3 2 5 1 1 5 1
1 1 4 3 4 3 4 4 5 1
1 4 3 5 1 1 2 2 2 1
3 3 5 2 4 1 1 3 2 4
4 1 5 3 4 5 3 4 3 3
5 3 5 5 4 3 1 3 4 1
4 1 1 3 5 5 1 3 3 5
Result for Thresold 20
5 0 1 5 5 5 0 0 3 0
3 3 5 0 0 0 3 1 1 5
5 1 3 5 3 3 0 1 3 1
3 1 5 3 0 5 1 1 5 1
1 1 0 3 0 3 0 0 5 1
1 0 3 5 1 1 0 0 0 1
3 3 5 0 0 1 1 3 0 0
0 1 5 3 0 5 3 0 3 3
5 3 5 5 0 3 1 3 0 1
0 1 1 3 5 5 1 3 3 5
length of pixel 4 was 17
length of pixel 2 was 10
i try it by some thing like
[nVal Index] = histc(a(:),unique(a)); %
nVal(nVal>20) = 1; % just some threshold value and assigning by some Number may be zero as well
But I dont Know how to replace the Index Values of the corresponding Pixal and apply reshape to get it in original form. Here Even i am not sure that i will get the same Matrix With Reshape . Please Help me.....
thanks

I think this does what you want:
threshold_length = 20;
replace_value = 0;
u = unique(a); %// values of a
h = histc(a(:), u); %// count for each value
r = u(h<threshold_length); %// values to be removed
a(ismember(a,r)) = replace_value; %// remove those values

I see #LuisMendo arrived at mostly the same solution quicker than I did, but an alternative to using ismember is to use more of what unique gives you:
threshold = 20;
[vals, ~, ix] = unique(a); % capture the values and their indices
counts = histc(a(:), vals); % count the occurrences of each value
vals(counts<threshold) = 0; % zero the values that aren't common enough
a(:) = vals(ix); % recreate the matrix with updated values

I have the following dataset about the choices of different car brands and their attributes. I would like to create a matrix based on each attribute of the cars.

Problems with setting array elements in Forth

I am writing code in Forth that should create a 12x12 array of random numbers from 1 to 8.
create big_array 144 allocate drop
: reset_array big_array 144 0 fill ;
reset_array
variable rnd here rnd !
: random rnd # 31421 * 6927 + dup rnd ! ;
: choose random um* nip ;
: random_fill 144 1 do 8 choose big_array i + c! loop ;
random_fill
: Array_# 12 * + big_array swap + c# ;
: show_small_array cr 12 0 do 12 0 do i j Array_# 5 u.r loop cr loop ;
show_small_array
However, I notice that elements 128 to 131 of my array are always much larger than expected:
0 4 0 4 2 6 0 5 2 5 7 3
6 3 7 3 7 7 3 1 5 0 6 1
0 3 3 0 3 1 0 7 2 0 4 5
3 7 6 6 2 1 0 2 3 4 2 7
4 7 1 5 3 5 7 2 3 5 3 6
3 0 6 4 1 3 3 2 5 4 4 7
3 2 1 4 3 4 3 7 2 6 5 5
2 4 4 3 4 5 4 4 6 5 6 0
2 5 2 7 3 1 5 0 1 4 6 7
2 0 3 3 0 7 3 6 4 1 3 6
0 1 1 6 0 3 0 2 169 112 41 70
7 2 3 1 2 2 7 6 0 5 1 2
Moreover, when I try to change the value of these elements individually, this causes the other three elements to change value. For example, if I code:
9 choose big_array 128 + c!
then the array will become:
0 4 0 4 2 6 0 5 2 5 7 3
6 3 7 3 7 7 3 1 5 0 6 1
0 3 3 0 3 1 0 7 2 0 4 5
3 7 6 6 2 1 0 2 3 4 2 7
4 7 1 5 3 5 7 2 3 5 3 6
3 0 6 4 1 3 3 2 5 4 4 7
3 2 1 4 3 4 3 7 2 6 5 5
2 4 4 3 4 5 4 4 6 5 6 0
2 5 2 7 3 1 5 0 1 4 6 7
2 0 3 3 0 7 3 6 4 1 3 6
0 1 1 6 0 3 0 2 2 12 194 69
7 2 3 1 2 2 7 6 0 5 1 2
Do you have any idea why these specific elements are always impacted and if there is a way to prevent this?
Better readability and less error prone: 144 allocate ⇨ 144 chars allocate
A mistake: create big_array 144 allocate drop ⇨ create big_array 144 chars allot
A mistake: random um* nip ⇨ random swap mod
A mistake: 144 1 do ⇨ 144 0 do
An excessive operation: big_array swap + ⇨ big_array +
And add the stack comments, please. Especially, when you ask for help.

Since you try to use memory in the dictionary space without reserving it. This memory is used by the Forth system.

J: Coordinates with specific value

Let's say we have array
0 1 2 3 4 5 8 7 8 9
There are two indexes that have value 8:
(i.10) ([#~8={) 0 1 2 3 4 5 8 7 8 9
6 8
Is there any shorter way to get this result? May be some built-in verb.
But more important. What about higher dimensions?
Let's say we have matrix 5x4
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 6
3 4 5 6 7
4 5 6 7 8
I want to find out what are coordinates with value 6.
I want to get result such (there are three coordinates):
4 1
3 2
2 3
It's pretty basic task and I think it should exist some simple solution.
The same in three dimensions?
Thank you
Using Sparse array functionality ($.) provides a very fast and lean solution that also works for multiple dimensions.
]a=: 5 ]\ 1 + i. 8
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 6

4 5 6 7 8
6 = a

0 0 0 0 1
0 0 0 1 0
0 0 1 0 0
4 $. $. 6 = a

Tacitly:
getCoords=: 4 $. $.
getCoords 6 = a ,: a

Verb indices I. almost does the job.
When you have a simple list, I.'s use is straightforward:
I. 8 = 0 1 2 3 4 5 8 7 8 9
6 8
For higher order matrices you can pair it with antibase #: to get the coordinates in base $ matrix. Eg:
]a =: 4 5 $ 1 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 6
3 4 5 6 7
4 5 6 7 8
I. 6 = ,a
9 13 17
($a) #: 9 13 17
1 4
2 3
3 2
Similarly, for any number of dimensions: flatten (,), compare (=), get indices (I.) and convert coordinates (($a)&#:):
]coords =: ($a) #: I. 5 = , a =: ? 5 6 7 $ 10
0 0 2
0 2 1
0 2 3
...
(<"1 coords) { a
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
By the way, you can write I. x = y as x (I.#:=) y for extra performance. It is special code for
indices where x f y

How to remove extra duplicated elements in each row of a matrix in matlab?

Let's say I have a matrix
A = [2 3 2 5 6 7 2;
1 2 5 4 5 6 7;
7 5 3 9 8 1 2];
How do I remove 2s and keep one 2 in the first row and keep only one 5 in the second row?
The result can't be a matrix anymore, because each row will have a different length. You can obtain the result as a cell array of row vectors as follows:
B = mat2cell(A, ones(size(A,1),1)); %// convert matrix to cell array of its rows
B = cellfun(#(x) unique(x,'stable'), B, 'uniformoutput', 0); %// stably remove duplicates
For your example matrix
A = [2 3 2 5 6 7 2;
1 2 5 4 5 6 7;
7 5 3 9 8 1 2];
this gives
B{1} =
2 3 5 6 7
B{2} =
1 2 5 4 6 7
B{3} =
7 5 3 9 8 1 2
If you want to find out which values are duplicates within the row, you can do something like this:
[vals, col_idx] = sort(A,2);
idx = bsxfun(#plus,(col_idx-1)*size(A,1), (1:size(A,1))');
is_duplicate(idx(:,2:end)) = vals(:,1:end-1) == vals(:,2:end);
is_duplicate = reshape(is_duplicate, size(A));
is_duplicate =
0 0 1 0 0 0 1
0 0 0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
From there, it depends what outcome you are looking for. You could set the duplicates to NaN or some other value, or you could set them to NaN, but then shift them to the end of the row, using something like the following:
col_idx = cumsum(~is_duplicate, 2);
idx = bsxfun(#plus,(col_idx-1)*size(A,1), (1:size(A,1))');
A_new = nan(size(A));
A_new(idx(~is_duplicate)) = A(~is_duplicate);
A_new =
2 3 5 6 7 NaN NaN
1 2 5 4 6 7 NaN
7 5 3 9 8 1 2

Unique Columns Across an Array?

I have an array structured like so:
a = [1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5;
1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 1 1 1 2 3 4 4 4 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3];
Pretty much, it's a 2 by n (I simplified my matrix in this question with reduced number of columns for simplicity's sake), no real pattern. I want to be able to find the unique number of columns. So in this simplified example, I can (but it'll take a while) count by hand and noticed that my unique matrix b is:
b= 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 5 5
1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3
In MATLAB, I can do something like
size(b,2)
To get the number of unique columns. In this example
size(b,2) = 12
My question is, how do I go from matrix a to matrix b so that I can do this computationally for very large n dimensional matrices that I have?
Use unique:
a = [1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5;
1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 1 1 1 2 3 4 4 4 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3];
% Transpose to leverage the rows flag, then transpose back
b = unique(a.', 'rows').';
Which returns:
b =
1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 5 5
1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3
