Fill an array according to the values of a different array

32 views (last 30 days)
I have 2 arrays. one is A = 21x2 array and the other is B = 700x2 array.
Exemplary:
A= 24 33
26 34
27 33
In the end, B should be structured in such a way that the value from the 1st column is entered in B as often as it is in the second column (33 lines with "24") of A.
The second problem i've got is that I want to fill an array with the output of a function but hence the function is using
Tiefe=normrnd(mu_Tiefe, sigma_Tiefe);
I want to create new random numbers for every cell of the array.
Is it possible to do that without a loop or do I have to use a loop for that?
Or is it mayby easier to create arrays containing the random numbers and pass the arrays to the function?

Hi Patrick,
Here is a small script for filling array based on another array.
% Lets say
%A = 24 3
% 22 5
% 34 2
A = [24 3; 22 5; 34 2];
B = zeros(1,sum(a(:,2)));
count = 1;
for i = 1:length(A)
idx = zeros(1,length(B));
idx(count : count + A(i,2)) = 1;
B(logical(idx)) = A(i,1);
count = count + A(i,2);
end
For generating an array of random numbers refer to this documentation page.

Thx for the small script.
Is there maybe a different approach to do it without a loop?
For the second case, I think I didn't really point out what I was looking for. But I solved the the issue.
When using normrnd
normrnd(mu_Tiefe, sigma_Tiefe,Anzahl,1)
the third and fourth parameter are for the size of the array.
