how to preallocate the variable in matlab code?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
while implementing kernal based grapg cut method, i am getting error at line: area(1+1)=999999999; suggestion for correcting the error is line 147: the variable 'area' appears to change size on every loop iteration(within a script). consider preallocation for speed. so please suggest me how to preallocate the variable area,in the matlab code?
i am attaching the code below

That's way too much unformatted code to look through everything, but
area = zeros(k,1);
will pre-allocated the variable 'area' (or alternatively zeros(1,k) if you specifically want a row vector).
Pre-allocation is a speed improvement suggestion though. You say you are getting an error, which is a different matter if it is actually an error and making a speed improvement won't fix an error.

thanks for your advise, successfully solved the preallocation problem, but getting error at another line

This is completely independent of the question you are asking at the top. But since Guillaume is already responding to this problem below I won't double up on giving the same advice to that too!

Since your loop runs from 0 to k and you're using the loop index + 1 to assign to area, its maximum size is going to be k columns, thus:
area = zeros(1, k);
However, if you get an error, preallocation in itself is not going to make it go away. Please give the exact text of the error message.

Well, the error message is clear, you don't have a function ToVector. Either it does not exist or the folder where that function exist is not on matlab's path.
If the former, create that function, if the latter, add that function's folder to matlab's path.

It is often simple, sometimes tedious other times impossible to preallocate the exact size of your variables. In this case I cant easily see. What you do is before the loop (if possible):
area = zeros(1,max_of_number_l);
If possible another trick is to run for-loops from the largest index downwards:
for i1 = max_i:-1:1,
area(i1) = sum(randn(1,10));
end
