one-to-one mapping of a vector based on error bounds

lets say I have the vector x = [-13, -13.2, -13.7, -11.6, -8.7, -6,5, -6.7, -6.6, -6.2, -5.9]

and I would like to make the following mappings, based upon some error bounds (i.e cleaning up the data):

-14 < x < -8 --> x = -13

-8 < x < -2 --> x = -6

so that under the mapping x becomes:

x = [-13, -13, -13, -13, -13, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6]

I have been able to achieve this using a for loop, but I'm assuming there is a faster/more efficient way to do this. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Jonah,

x(-14 < x & x < -8) = -13;
x(-8  < x & x < -2) = -6; 

What happens if x =8? Looks like you could use <= in place of one of the two <
