Sudden changes in data values - how to detect?

17 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a matrix of data with around 2000 rows and only 1 column. They first few hundred are all numerical values between 1-10 and then all of a sudden, there is a change in the values to numbers between 1000-10000. How could i write a code to find the position in which this change occurs? I have been stuck with the question for several days and i can't think of a logical way to do it. I am extremely new to matlab.
Thank you

The easiest way:
x = [randi(10, 20, 1); randi([1000 10000], 20, 1)]; % Created Data
jump = find(diff([0; x]) > 10, 1, 'first'); % Index
The ‘jump’ variable has the first index of the difference in the values that is greater than 10. Run my simulated code — and experiment with it to see how it works — then apply it to your vector.

This could help me, but is it possible to show the location of multiple changes? Say you had several large jumps in one column of data...is it possible to have matlab tell us more than just the first location? Thanks!

Since this question was asked the ischange function has been added to MATLAB. Its short description is "Find abrupt changes in data".
