replace missing values in a matrix

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
Consider the following:
A = [1,1,1;
2,3,1;
nan,3,1;
nan,3,nan];
how would I replace the missing values with the previous values? For example:
data =
1 1 1
2 3 1
2 3 1
2 3 1
I can find the nan by isnan(data) but I don't know how to replace the values as described.
Amended:
I've managed to do this but not in a very concise way:
A = [1,1,1;2,3,1;nan,3,1;nan,3,nan];
B = ~isnan(A);
I = arrayfun(@(x)find(B(:,x),1,'last'),1:size(A,2));
for i = 1:size(A,2);
C = A(:,i);
D = isnan(C);
C(D) = C(I(i));
Final(:,i) = C;
end
Could anyone suggest on a way to tidy this up?

Is this matrix a possible input:
A = [1, NaN; ... % NaNs in first row
NaN, 2; ... % Non-NaNs after a NaN
3, NaN]

What about a simple loop:
  • Go through the rows from 2 to end
  • Use isnan() to find the indices of NaNs
  • Replace values in the current row by the ones of the former row.
I'm not more specific, because this could be a homework also.
[EDITED]
for k = 2:size(A, 1)
index = isnan(A(k, :));
A(k, index) = A(k - 1, index);
end

not homework, just needed some advice...

But you didn't say whether you solved it or not. If you did, mark this as "Answered" otherwise show your code and where you're having difficulty.
