I need assistance, actually I have a matrix b=2500x21, which is imaginary part of a FRF signal. I want to find peaks for every column, each column represents accelerometer response at different location of a beam. The following code i have written.
for i=1:21
pks(:,i)=findpeaks(b(:,i))
end
pks(:,i)=pks;
Problem is that, the matrix pks just stores last iteration value. I want that all the peak values after every iteration will be stored in a single matrix.
Can any body having suggestions?

Just format the code using the code button. So that it’s easy for others to read your code.
After your for loop, i will be left at its last value, 21. Then your final statement there would be equivalent to
pks(:,21) = pks;
which tries to store the entire pks array into a single location in the pks array. I am having difficulty coming up with any circumstance under which that could work without giving an error message.
I suspect that the for loop will generate an error, as most of the time the different columns of signal will lead to a different number of peaks being found, leading to errors when you tried to store the different vector lengths into the same array.
What is the purpose of this?:
pks(:,i)=pks;

I'm surprised you can even run your code. I'd expect a crash unless you find the same number of peaks in each iteration.
Store output in a preallocated cell array instead.
Actually its working, it generates a matrix of length 5x21, the problem is that matrix contains peak values in 1st and last column, rest of the columns are zero. I want that matrix containing peak values at 21 different locations.......these peak values are appeared in the command window, but i am unable to store them in matrix properly.
Shortly, i should say that every next iteration value overrides the previous one....

Can you attach the data? No point in guessing. I find it hard to believe no error is returned.
Ayisha Nayyar's "Answer" moved here and formatted correctly:
Hi jonas, I have attached the file, now follow the code and see the results please.
for i=1:21
pks(:,i)=findpeaks(b(:,i))
end
pks(:,i)=pks;

As expected, your code returned the error
Unable to perform assignment because the size of the left side is 3-by-1 and the size of the right side is 6-by-1.
...because of reasons already listed multiple times in the comments.
You can solve this by storing the data in a cell array.
T=readtable('b.xlsx');
b=table2array(T);
pks=cell(21,1);
for i=1:21
pks{i}=findpeaks(b(:,i))
end
pks =
21×1 cell array
{6×1 double}
{6×1 double}
{6×1 double}
{6×1 double}
{7×1 double}
{6×1 double}
{5×1 double}
{7×1 double}
...

Thanks Jonas, i am partially satisfied by your answer, but as i know that for every column of my matrix 'b', I could have at least five peaks. The values arranged in this format is providing only one peak value of each column of 'b'.

No. You can access the peak values in the first column by:
pks{1}
ans =
1.0e-04 *
0.2180
0.0216
0.0040
0.0008
0.0001
-0.0000
As you can see, there are 6 values. Some peak values have extremely small prominence. You can adjust the 'MinPeakProminence' argument of findpeaks if you wish to exclude those.
Further reading on accessing data in cell arrays ( link ).
thanks again
