Calculating displacement many times with respect to different elements
Afficher commentaires plus anciens
I have the following data (or similar):
154240 1 7
154240 2 2
154240 5 6
154240 2 5
154240 6 7
154240 2 7
154240 5 6
154240 6 7
154240 4 6
154240 4 6
154240 4 6
641224 2 3
641224 2 1
641224 2 3
641224 1 2
641311 5 5
641311 7 5
It represents data of the form [tag number of rat, x coord, y coord] (as im studying a rat population). I would like to calculate the displacement of x & y with respect to the first x & y entries for each of the same value of the tag, i.e. I want an nx3 matrix (where n is size of my data) which gives me [tag number again,(0,x2-x1,x3-x1,x4-x1 etc),(0,y2-y1,y3-y1,y4-y1 etc)] but I am totally inept at programming and am flummoxed right now.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

So what output do you expect for you above input? Please describe to us how you get that. Results are worth a 1000 words!

X your array
out=bsxfun(@minus,X,[0 X(1,2) X(1,3)])
