Applying functions to each cell in a cell array
显示 更早的评论
Good afternoon,
I have a 60 by 1 cell array that stores matrices of different sizes (all numeric). I want to perform certain functions (mean, diff, hypot, convhull...etc) on these matrices from the 1st element of the cell array, to the 60th element.
Is there a way I can do that?
Thank you.

cellfun does exactly this.

The function call "cellfun" is a useful function in this case. In the case of the function mean, the code below would work to get the mean of each subset within the cell array:
myCell = {[0 1 2]; [3 4 5]; [6 7 8]; [9 10 11]}
result = cellfun(@mean,myCell)
In this case, result would be an array of values [1 4 7 10]. I've linked the documentation to "cellfun" here.

If you have multiple functions to perform a for loop would likely be simplest. The idea that for loops are very slow in Matlab is often erroneous. I favour cellfun and arrayfun from an aesthetic perspective, but from a speed perspective for loops are usually faster. And certainly if you want to calculate multiple things then a single pass over the data in a for loop is a lot better than multiple calls to cellfun, though you could of course create a composite function that will calculate all your results on a single cell and then call this via cellfun if you prefer the cellfun approach.
