I have a 100x2 matrix D. A scatter plot is attached. I have a 100x1 vector 'c'. If a point in D is to the left, I want to assign it as +1 and -1 otherwise. I know it sounds easy and I was trying this snippet:

if D(1:100,1)<mean(D(:,1)) c(:,1) = 1; else c(:,1) = -1; end

but it somehow doesn't do the job. I think we don't even need an if loop. Thanks for your comments.

Hello Deepayan,

You probably are trying to use logical indexing, so you don't need the conditional.

c = ones(size(D, 1), 1);
c(D(:, 1) > mean(D(:, 1))) = -1;

On the other hand, you've got some very nice clusters here, and this code depends on you having roughly equal number of points in each cluster. Rather than mean, it would probably make sense to use some form of cluster analysis to figure out where the clusters are, and which points belong to which. kmeans is one of the most common methods, and would probably suffice here.
