Hi,
I understand that you are trying to process the data x and y. Let us consider the data is stored in list y and matrix x. And we also have a function that does the matching analysis and returns the best possible row in x, that matches the value in y.
The following algorithm may help you
% Data is extracted into lists x and y
selectedRows = zeros(length(y));
for ii = 1:length(y)
yElement = y(ii);
% Function that returns the selected row in data x
% by performing matching analysis
xRow = getBestMachingRow(yElement,x);
% replace xRow with nan
x(xRow,:) = nan;
% store the row
selectedRows(ii) = xRow;
end
