MATLAB: How to repeat a function several times

simulationtime series

Hello everyone,

I have a function that calculates the time series of a growth rate assuming that the growth rate follows an AR(1) process. So the value t1 depends on t0 and so on. I do this procedure for different sample sizes. How can I repeat this function, say 1000 times, in the way, that the calculation begins from t0 for each simulation path and that the output is a ((1000*samplesize),x) matrix.

Thank you in advance.

Just preallocate the output array and call the function in a loop saving each simulation in row/column of the array depending on which orientation you wish.

Alternatively, could use arrayfun but the loop will probably out-perform it....

Hi, you need to know the sampling interval of course. Here I assume the sampling interval is 1 msec and delay one signal ten samples, 0.01 seconds.

dt = 1e-3;
x = randn(100,1);
y =[zeros(10,1); x(1:end-10)];
[c,lags] = xcorr(y,x,40,'coeff');
[~,index] = max(abs(c));
fprintf('Time lag = %2.3f seconds\n',lags(index)*dt)

MATLAB: How to repeat a character n times

Because your histogram counts will result in variable length strings of asterisks, you'll need to use cell arrays to store each string.

Freq=[s0,s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,s6,s7,s8,s9];
hist=cell(1,length(Freq));
for k=1:length(Freq)
  hist{k}=repmat('*',1,Freq(k));
end

Access the k-th string using hist{k} (note the curly braces).
