Hello. I have a large matrix with dimensions of 300123 x 8.
As a note, I would like to say that in the matrix, column 1 to column 4 are time data (year, month, day, hour), and column 5 to column 8 are meteorological data measurements.
I want to delete all rows which have the same elements in column 1, column 2, column 3 and column 4.
For instance: a = [2009,10,9,5,0,0,0,0; 2009,10,2,5,3,8,7,7; 2009,10,9,5,2,1,9,1] => [2009,10,2,5,3,8,7,7]
In this example, column 1 to column 4 has repeated values in row 1 and row 3 (2009,10,9,5), and both rows are completely removed.
I want to implement this kind of solution to my whole matrix with dimensions of 300123 x 8.
Thanks in advance.
