Collapsing matrix into columns
8 answers
Let's say I have A = [1:8; 11:18; 21:28; 31:38; 41:48] Now I would like to move everything from column 4 onward to the row position. How do I achieve this?
A =
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38
41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48
to
A2 =
1 2 3 4
11 12 13 14
21 22 23 24
31 32 33 34
41 42 43 44
5 6 7 8
15 16 17 18
35 36 37 38
45 46 47 48
reshape doesn't seem to do the trick
Here's a vectorized approach with reshape and permute -
reshape(permute(reshape(a,size(a,1),4,[]),[1,3,2]),[],4)
Sample run -
>> a
a =
20 79 18 82 27 23 59 66 46 21 48 95
96 83 46 49 34 88 23 42 17 27 15 54
11 88 34 92 23 62 86 56 32 32 91 54
>> reshape(permute(reshape(a,size(a,1),4,[]),[1,3,2]),[],4)
ans =
20 79 18 82
96 83 46 49
11 88 34 92
27 23 59 66
34 88 23 42
23 62 86 56
46 21 48 95
17 27 15 54
32 32 91 54
Use Matrix indexing!
B=[A(:,1:4);A(:,5:8)]
In a loop...
for ii=0:floor(size(A,2)/4)-1
B([1+5*ii:5*(ii+1)],:)=A(:,[1+4*ii:4*(ii+1)] );
end
One more... perhaps unoptimized way would be to decompose the matrix into cells row-wise, transpose the cell array then concatenate everything back together:
B = cell2mat(mat2cell(A, size(A, 1), 4 * ones((size(A, 2) / 4), 1)).');
The above first uses mat2cell to decompose the matrix into non-overlapping cells. Each cell has the same number of rows as A but the total number of columns is 4 and there are exactly size(A, 2) / 4 of them. As such, we need to indicate a vector of ones where each element is 4 and there are size(A, 2) / 4 of these to tell us the number of columns for each cell. This creates a row-wise cell array and so we transpose this cell array and merge all of the cells together into one final matrix with cell2mat.
