How to remove duplicate NaN values from an X Y data set
Show older comments
I have a large data set a simplified version is data=[1,2;3,4;nan,nan;5,6;nan,nan;nan,nan;10,11]. I need to remove any rows of NaN that are repeated more than once so the above example would become data=[1,2;3,4;nan,nan;5,6;nan,nan;10,11]. The sequence is important
1 2
3 4
NaN NaN
5 6
NaN NaN
NaN NaN
10 11
should become
1 2
3 4
NaN NaN
5 6
NaN NaN
10 11

There might be more efficient ways to do this, but the following code works.
data=[1,2;3,4;nan,nan;5,6;nan,nan;nan,nan;10,11]
data(isnan(sum(data,2)),:)=[]

Sorry, didn't catch that earlier. Maybe you can use this approach.
a=[1,2;3,4;nan,nan;5,6;nan,nan;nan,nan;10,11];
[r,c] = size(a)
b = reshape(a,1,r*c)
ind = isnan(a(:))'
repeatednan = strfind([0, ind], [1 1])
b(repeatednan)=[]
reshape(b,r-length(repeatednan)/2,c)
