根据另一行中的字符串平均一行单元格数组

Question

我有这个单元格数组:

times = {'plot'      'plot'      'plot'      'plot'      'plot'      'hist'      'plot'      'plot'      'plot'      'plot'  ;
         [0.0042]    [0.0026]    [0.0032]    [0.0054]    [0.0049]    [0.0106]    [0.0038]    [0.0026]    [0.0030]    [0.0026]}

现在我想为第一行中的每个类型创建一个平均值,并将其保存到一个新的单元格,如下所示:

result = {'hist'      'plot'  ;  
          [0.0106]    [0.0036];
          [     1]    [     9]}

第一行是类型,第二行是平均值,第三行是元素数.

我用这段代码解决了我的问题:

labels = unique(times(1,:));
result = cell(3,numel(labels));

for i = 1 : numel(labels)
    result(1,i) = labels(i);
    times2avg = cell2mat(times(2,strcmp(times(1,:), labels(i))));
    result{2,i} = mean(times2avg);
    result{3,i} = numel(times2avg);
end

我现在的问题是我的问题是否有更简单或更理想的解决方案.

Answer 1

随着组合unique并accumarray可以实现你想要的.

%// example data
times = { 'plot' 'plot' 'plot' 'plot' 'hist' 'plot'; 
            [1]    [2]    [3]   [4]    [5]    [6] }
%// extract data
data = [times{2,:}]

%// get types and their locations
[types, ~, subs] = unique(times(1,:))

%// calculate average values
avgs = accumarray(subs(:),data(:),[],@mean)

%// count occurences
nums = accumarray(subs(:),data(:),[],@numel)

%// gather everything for output
result = [types; num2cell(avgs.'); num2cell(nums.')]

result = 

    'hist'    'plot'  
    [   5]    [3.2000]
    [   1]    [     5]
