Compare value in one column and replace string in another column

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Dear all,
I imported a very long logfile with textscan using the %s (string) for all columns, given that I have both strings and numbers within column:
M =
{20132x1 cell} {20132x1 cell} {20132x1 cell} {20132x1 cell} {20132x1 cell}
In column 5 I have reaction time data. I column 3 I have "hit", "miss" or "correct" labels. I would like to clean my data, so that whenever column 5 has a value below 2000 ms or above 40000 ms the correspondent column 3 would be replaced with 'miss'.
I introduced a loop alpha declaring the size of M (I need this loop for additional operations), and between this loop I would like to clean the data:
for alpha = 1:size(M{1},1)
%idea which doesn't work
if str2num(M{5}{Z2}) <= 2000; change to 'miss' in M{3}}{Z2}
if str2num(M{5}{Z2}) >= 20000; change to 'miss' in M{3}}{Z2}
end
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Udiubu

x = cellfun(@str2num,M{5});
M{3}(x <= 2000 | x >= 40000) = {'miss'};

Hi Andrei,
Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, I'm getting the following error message:
??? Error using ==> cellfun
Non-scalar in Uniform output, at index 1, output 1.
Set 'UniformOutput' to false.
Do you know why?
An alternative solution might be to work the other way round:
If M{3} has "hit" && {5} has a value less than 2000 or higher than 40000, change M{3} to "miss".
Thanks again!

What contains M {5}?,
in my case:
for example:
M{5} = {'200';10000';'50000'}

I now set up UnformOutput to false:
x = cellfun(@str2num,M{5},'UniformOutput', false);
but a new error appears regarding the following line:
M{3}(x <= 2000 || x >= 40000) = {'miss'};
??? Undefined function or method 'le' for input arguments of type 'cell'.
Sorry to bother, I really need this precious help.
Sincerely,
Udiubu
