How can I count the occurrences of each element in a vector in MATLAB?

1,436 次查看(过去 30 天)
I would like to be able to return the count of occurences of each element in a vector.
For example if I have a vector:
x=[10 25 4 10 9 4 4]
I expect the result to be
y=[2 1 3 2 1 3 3].

As of MATLAB R2019a, you can use the “groupcounts” function to compute the number of times an element appears in a vector as a summary. In other words, the elements of the below output “GC” are the counts of the corresponding element values in “GR” (from the original input vector “x”):
x = [10 25 4 10 9 4 4]';
[GC,GR] = groupcounts(x)
GC =
3
1
2
1
GR =
4
9
10
25
For more information on "groupcounts", please see the documentation link below:

As of MATLAB R2018b, you can use the “grouptransform” function if you want to compute the number of times an element appears in a vector and output that count for each corresponding element of the input vector. For example:
x = [10 25 4 10 9 4 4]';
y = grouptransform(x,x,@numel)
y =
2
1
3
2
1
3
3

Prior to MATLAB R2018b, while there is no single function to count occurrences of each element, there are a few ways to count elements in a vector:
1. Logical Indexing:
The following code snippet will give the desired output:
y = zeros(size(x));
for i = 1:length(x)
y(i) = sum(x==x(i));
end
For MATLAB R2016b and later, you can use implicit expansion to further simplify the code:
y = sum(x==x')
2. Binning:
You can use the "hist" and "unique" functions as shown here to do the same:
x = [10 25 4 10 9 4 4]
[a,b]=hist(x,unique(x))
3. Third-Party Tools:
For another workaround, see the following file, 'CountMember.m', that was contributed by a MATLAB user to do the same from a single function:

when you use groupcounts then the groups are in the order returned by unique('sorted')

[a,b] = histc(x,unique(x));
y = a(b);

There is a simpler way of answering this now using groupcounts(R2019a) or grouptransform(R2018b):
>> x=[10 25 4 10 9 4 4]';
>> grouptransform(x,x,@numel)
ans =
2
1
3
2
1
3
3
>>[GC,GR]=groupcounts(x)
GC =
3
1
2
1
GR =
4
9
10
25

For the example you gave above how does the solution look and what does 'similar number' for the first column mean?

This seems like a very different type of problem so unlikely the functions in this topic will help you directly. I'd post this question as a separate thread with the example input/output

here is another one:
sum(bsxfun(@eq,x,x'),1)
or if you want the output to be the same orientation as input
sum(bsxfun(@eq,x,x'),(size(x,2)==1)+1)
