findUniqueCounts

Find unique cells in a cell array and where they occur.

findUniqueCounts(inputCell) returns a cell array with the unique cells in inputCell and where they occur. The contents of each cell must be an array.

function uniqueCounts = findUniqueCounts(inputCell)

Inputs

inputCell - the cell array to work on

Outputs

uniqueCounts - a (N_unique,3) cell array where each row contains the unique cells, where N_unique is the number of unique entries. The columns of uniqueCounts are organised as follows:

- Column 1: cell contents

- Column 2: cell index in inputCell

- Column 3: array containing the indices in inputCell where repetitions occur. The first entry of this array is the same as the entry in Column 2

Example:

If inputCell = {[0];

[0;1;2;3];

[7;1];

[5;4;4];

[0];

[0;1;2;3]};

then uniqueCounts is:

uniqueCounts = {[0],[1],[1,5];

[0;1;2;3],[2],[2,6];

[7;1],[3],[3];

[5;4;4],[4],[4]}
