select complex numbers from cell array based on the real part
显示 更早的评论
Hi all,
I have a 7D cell array with complex numbers.
I want to keep the complex number with the highest real part, of all the values of the 3rd parameter (1:15).
For example in this case i want only the val(:,:,14,1,1,1,1) which has the highest real part.
I tried to do it using the following command
maxVal = max(cell2mat(my_array),[],3);
However, it keeps the complex number with higher imaginary part. In this case
val(:,:,15,1,1,1,1)
Any idea of how can i do this?
Thank you

Well, if you want the max() of the real part, then you'll have to limit to only looking at the real part -- max() for complex returns max(abs())
tmp=squeeze(cell2mat(my_array));
[maxRealVal,imxR] = max(real(tmp));
maxVal=tmp(imxR);

The maxVal that dpb's code returns will be complex values. You can imag() them.

With your code, yes...with mine, no. Attach some readable data so don't have to make it up (don't use images, select/past text instead).
Well, what the ... poke, poke, ...
val=complex([0.21,0.28,0.34,745.4,34.3],[1460.9,1460.9,1460.9,1444.3,1691.9]); % approx subset sample data
% find return value with maximum real part...
[vMxR,iMxR]=max(real(val)); % return location
% display result
>> val(iMxR)
ans =
7.4540e+02 + 1.4443e+03i
>> imag(val(iMxR))
ans =
1.4443e+03
>>
by contrast,
>> abs(val)
ans =
1.0e+03 *
1.4609 1.4609 1.4609 1.6253 1.6922
>> [~,imx]=max(abs(val))
imx =
5
>> [~,imx]=max((val))
imx =
5
>>
which shows since the real part is stlll small(ish) in comparison, the larger imaginary component dominates in the abs() value which is what max() returns for complex variable.
