findout the second largest element in each row and its location in a matrix
显示 更早的评论
I have a (3*5) matrix i.e A=[1 2 3 4 5, 6 7 9 8 10, 11 12 14 13 15], i would like to find out the second largest element in each row and its location in the matrix. i expect 2 outputs 1)second_maxvalue_A=[4,9,14] 2)location_of_second_maxval=[4,3,3]

One possible way is to find the largest values, replace them with a very small value (-Inf) and search for the new largest values:
A=[1 2 3 4 5; 6 7 9 8 10; 11 12 14 13 15] %your example A was a single row
m = max(A, [], 2); %find the max in each row
A(bsxfun(@eq, A, m)) = -Inf; %replace the max(s) by -Inf
m = max(A, [], 2) %find the new max which is the second largest.

Edit: seems like I misread second largest...
, should be ;.
A=[1 2 3 4 5; 6 7 9 8 10; 11 12 14 13 15];
[m,i] = max(A,[],2)
gives you:
m =
5
10
15
i =
5
5
5
example:
A=rand(3,5);
[m,i] = max(A,[],2)
gives:
0.8147 0.9134 0.2785 0.9649 0.9572
0.9058 0.6324 0.5469 0.1576 0.4854
0.1270 0.0975 0.9575 0.9706 0.8003
m =
0.9649
0.9058
0.9706
i =
4
1
4

Finding second or third biggest can be done this way:
m=3;n=4;ggg = rand(m,n);
[svals,idx] = sort(ggg(:),'descend'); % sort to vector
svals(2) % second largest value
[II,JJ] = ind2sub([m,n],idx(2)) % position in the matrix

Doesn't this find the second largest element in the matrix, rather than each row?
Secondly, if there are more than one element equal to the max, it still returns the max.

A generic way of finding the nth largest value of each row, if it exists:
function nl = nthlargestrow(m, n)
%m: a 2d matrix to search
%n: an integer
%nl: cell array containing the nth largest value of each row. If a row does not have n different values, the cell is empty
nl = cell(size(m, 1), 1);
u = cellfun(@unique, num2cell(m, 2), 'UniformOutput', false);
hasnelements = cellfun(@numel, u) >= n;
nl(hasnelements) = cellfun(@(row) row(end-n+1), u(hasnelements), 'UniformOutput', false)
end

A=[1 2 3 4 5; 6 7 9 8 10; 11 12 14 13 15];
% remove highest value in each row
sz = size(A);
[~, ind] = max(A, [], 2);
ind = ind + [0; cumsum(repmat(sz(2), [sz(1)-1 1]))];
A = A';
A(ind) = [];
A = reshape(A, [sz(2)-1 sz(1)])';
% find highest value in each row (i.e., second largest of original matrix)
[max2, ind2] = max(A, [], 2);
