Data manipulation question, need some help!!

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
Guys, I really need some help here. I got stuck for a long time.
1. How am I supposed to create a matrix that has two columns, the format of the first one is string, and the second is numerical?
Say a = ['1';'2';'3'], b = [4,5,6], I need to create a matrix like c =
1 4
2 5
3 6
I tried to use c = {a,b}, but the answer is c = [3x1 char] [3x1 double]
2. A =
'15' 3854
'10' 6331
'10' 4324
'20' 3874
'25' 4321
'15' 6835
'10' 3321
'15' 3821
'20' 9324
I need to sum the 2nd column according to the 1st column and create a new matrix. E.g, for '10', I should sum up (6331,4324,3321) , the final result should be
B =
'10' 13976
'15' 10689
'20' 13198
'25' 4321
Any opinion is welcomed!

If the first column is always numerical, would it be easier to convert the strings to numbers, then convert back to strings when needed?

I think that may be a good suggestion. So far I didn't see much difference though.

A ={...
'15' 3854
'10' 6331
'10' 4324
'20' 3874
'25' 4321
'15' 6835
'10' 3321
'15' 3821
'20' 9324}
[a b b] = unique(A(:,1));
out = [a num2cell(accumarray(b,cat(1,A{:,2})))];
OR
out2 = [str2double(a) accumarray(b,cat(1,A{:,2}))];

Thanks Andrei. It worked perfectly well!
Could you tell me what the cat(1,A{:,2}) does ? Does that convert cell array back to number?
Thanks again!

Ta = cellstr(a);
Tb = num2cell(b);
c = [Ta(:), Tb(:)];

Thanks for your reply! It totally solves Question 1.
Is it true that I have to convert those to columns to cell array before I can combine them?
