In MATLAB I want to calculate the frequency that a row with specific column values occurs in a matrix, e.g. how frequent is the row [7 2 4]. How can I do this?
I have three columns A, B and C.
I must determine how frequently C=4 when it is the case that A=7 and B=2? Can I do this in a loop for all possible combinations of A and B when C=4?

This is not too hard to do with logical vectors. What have you tried so far?
And do you want the frequency of C=4 given that A=7 and B=2, or do you want the overall frequency of [7 2 4]?

The frequency of C=4 when A=7 and B=2. I was just wondering how to do this in a loop, if say I want to determine how frequently C=4 appears for each possible combination of A and B?

Let's first create the same variables William created:
N=10000;
A=randi(9,N,1); B=randi(9,N,1); C=randi(9,N,1);
X=[A,B,C];
W=[7,2,4];
Since the goal is to find the frequency of rows with full matches provided the first two already match, we will need some extra steps. If not, ismember would do the trick.
% This only works if W is a row vector, so you could use this:
% W = reshape(W,1,[]);
FirstAllMatch = all( X(:,1:(end-1)) == W(1:(end-1)) ,2);
LastMatch = X(:,end) == W(end);
MatchFrequency = mean(FirstAllMatch & LastMatch);
disp(MatchFrequency)
8.0000e-04
ConditionalMatchFrequency = sum(FirstAllMatch & LastMatch)/sum(FirstAllMatch);
disp(ConditionalMatchFrequency)
0.0667
If you want to do some analysis to find all the places where the third element is equal to some value, you can simply use X(:,3)==SomeInteger and calculate what you need from the resulting logical vector.

@Emily,
[edit: change [7,4,2] to [7,2,4] to agree with the original question]
Suppose A, B, C are vectors of length N, and each contains the integers 1 to 9 at random:
N=10000;
A=randi(9,N,1); B=randi(9,N,1); C=randi(9,N,1);
Combine the vectors to make a 3-column matrix
X=[A,B,C];
Find the occurrences of rows with [7,2,4]:
W=[7,2,4];
numWinX=0;
for i=1:N
if X(i,:)==W
numWinX=numWinX+1;
end
end
fprintf('Number of Ws in array X=%d.\n',numWinX)
Number of Ws in array X=11.
That is a way to do it.
Others will probably be able to provide a more elegant solution, i.e. a solution that does not use a for loop.
