SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on reshaping a 15x15x4001 matrix in MATLAB to track individual elements over time. The user seeks to convert the output of mystruct(1,1,:) from a 1x1x4001 structure to either a 4001x1 or 1x4001 format without using a for loop. The solution involves using the built-in MATLAB functions reshape and shiftdim for efficient manipulation of multi-dimensional arrays. Both functions are documented in the MATLAB help resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with MATLAB syntax and functions
  • Understanding of multi-dimensional arrays in MATLAB
  • Knowledge of data manipulation techniques in MATLAB
  • Basic experience with MATLAB documentation navigation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the reshape function in MATLAB for array manipulation
  • Explore the shiftdim function for dimension shifting in arrays
  • Learn about other array manipulation functions in MATLAB
  • Investigate best practices for optimizing performance when handling large matrices in MATLAB
USEFUL FOR

MATLAB users, data analysts, and researchers working with multi-dimensional arrays who need efficient methods for reshaping and manipulating data structures.

Ok so here is the problem
I have a 15x15x4001 structure. Basically it is a matrix at 4001 time points.
I want to track one element at a time as a function of time

the problem is that

mystruct(1,1,:)

is being read as a 1x1x4001 structure
I want it to read in as either 4001x1 or 1x4001

How can I do this without making a for loop to convert each one individually?

If MATLAB doesn't have a built in function for this I can make one but it should already have that functionality built in.

Thank you. I wasnt even sure what to look for in the documentation. I did look there before I asked. I promise.
