vecfun
M = vecfun (f, A, dim)
vecfun applies a function f with column vector input to an N-dimensional array:
A: size [d1,d2, ... ,dD]
where one of the dimensions of A is comprised of possible vector inputs into f, and f returns an array of P elements.
Therefore, the output of vecfun applied to f on A along dimension dim will be of the same number of dimensions as A and have:
M: size [d1,d2, ... , P , ... , dD]
where d[dim] = P.
Example:
A = randn(2,3,5,7);
f = @(p) [p(1)+p(2);p(2)+p(3); ...
p(3)+p(4);p(4)+p(5)];
% f takes a five element column vector p
% and returns a four element output
M = vecfun(f,A,3);
size(M)
% returns [2,3,4,7]
% f:R5 -> R4 has acted along the third
% dimension of A as required.
*****
See also my function `chooseargs' (ID 35115) which works well in conjunction with vecfun.
*****
Example of combined usage:
A=randn(20,5);
Ai=zeros(20,1);
for k=1:20
[~,Aik]=min(A(k,:));
Ai(k)=Aik;
end
can be replaced with:
Ai=vecfun(@(s) chooseargs(@min,2,[],s),A,2);
