Issue regarding mahalanobis distance function
显示 更早的评论
Hi, i am currently working on my thesis and i am trying the mahalanobis distance function to get the answer. The problem is i have a matrix of 242 lines and 2 colums and. In the first columns i have different mean values and in second column i have the standard deviation. What i want is at each line(in a for loop) i want to compare the line standard deviation and mean with the first line. Ultimately having a vector of 1 column and 242 lines. Can someone tell me how this can be done.
I tried using the 'mahal(X,Y)' but it does not work when dimension of both vectors are the same.

Marc - please clarify what you mean by i want to compare the line standard deviation and mean with the first line. If X is your 242x2 matrix, then isn't the comparison just
mDist = mahal(X(1,:), X(k, :));
where k is the kth row that you are comparing to the first row in the for loop?

Marc - from mahal it seems that the second input needs more rows than columns. Are you sure that you want to be using mahal?

are you just trying to find the nearest distance between the two sets of values? perhaps just use the squared distance? Something like
dist = sqrt(sum((X(1,:) - X(k, :))^2));
Or would this not produce the results you need/expect?
