Finding maximum value, discounting a certain matrix place.

Hi Everyone,

Suppose I have a 1,m matrix, which I call sweep.

Suppose also, that I have identified I to be a relevant place in sweep.

What I wish to achieve is the following, except in search of the maximum value, the expression should not include the place I:

val = max(nonzeros(sweep));

How can I amend the above, to discount the place I?

Regards,

Ulrik.

Answer 1

[Sean de Wolski]

sweep2(ll) = []; %ll instead to make it more readable
val = max(nonzeros(sweep2));

Answer 2

[Andrei Bobrov]

sweep(I) = NaN
