Is there a fast way to code this ?
Say, X= [101 202 303 505] is the set of values to be binned,
and Y=
[0 100 200 300 400; 200 300 400 500 600] has information about the bin-edges, with the first row containing lower-bin edges and the second row containing upper bin-edges (so that successive bins are 0-200, 100-300, 200-400, 300-500, and 400-600)
and the result is [1,2,2,1,2].
Normally I would code this as:
out=NaN(1,size(Y,1)); for i=1:length(out) out(i) = length(find( X<=Y(2,i)&X>Y(1,i) ); end
Is there a faster/more succinct way, using a vectorized function ?
Thanks, Suresh
