I have this cell array of matrices:
a = [14x16 double] [14x17 double] [14x27 double][14x62 double] [14x16 double] Unfortunately, I don't want that. What I need is to get all the vectors in the matrix and get a large cell array of vectors.
How can I achieve this?
I need an array of size 16+17+27+62+16 where every vector has 14 elements.
I haven't used matlab a lot before, I am sure this is sort of trivial. Can someone help?
You can call num2cell on each of the cell arrays, and then concatenate them all using cat.
%// Generate some test data a = arrayfun(@(x)rand(14, x), [16 17 27 62 16] , 'uni', 0); [14x16 double] [14x17 double] [14x27 double] [14x62 double] [14x16 double] %// Now merge them into a cell array of vectors newcell = cellfun(@(x)num2cell(x, 1), a, 'uni', 0); newcell = cat(2, newcell{:}); And just to verify that everything is the dimension we expect
isequal(size(newcell), [1 16+17+27+62+16]) 1 isequal(size(newcell{1}), [14 1]) 1 If instead you simply want a large matrix, you can just concatenate the initial data into a matrix (along the second dimension):
matrix = cat(2, a{:}); size(matrix) 14 138 I would recommend the matrix approach as opposed to the cell array approach as MATLAB is highly optimized to perform operations on matrices. You will definitely take a performance hit using cell arrays instead.
