MATLAB: Vector size error or Polyfit

detrendpolyfitx y vector length

Am trying to detrend some ECG data using polyfit(). Error message is that X and Y vectors not the same size. But they are, I think:

Workspace:

ChannelFirst 1×92672 double t 92672×1 double

Here’s the code:

t = (1:length(ChannelFirst))';

subplot(2,1,1) plot(t,ChannelFirst), grid title 'ECG Signals with Trends', ylabel 'Voltage (mV)'

subplot(2,1,2) plot(t,ChannelFirst), grid xlabel Sample, ylabel 'Voltage (mV)'

Code works fine to this point. Plot looks correct. However,

 opol = 6;
[p,s,mu] = polyfit(t,ChannelFirst,opol);

Error using polyfit (line 47) X and Y vectors must be the same size.

t and ChannelFirst appear to be the same size

can someone please help ? are t and Channelfirst not the X and Y vectors for polyfit?

Best Answer

[p,s,mu] = polyfit(t.',ChannelFirst,opol);

or

[p,s,mu] = polyfit(t,ChannelFirst.',opol);

One of your vectors is a row vector and the other is a column vector. You need to have them the same orientation.

MATLAB: How to draw tangent line at infleciton point

You have the slope at the inflection point as well as the ‘t’ and ‘y’ values at the inflection point, so all you need to do to draw the tangent line at the inflection point is to calculate the slope ‘b’, and that is straightforward.

I would use the gradient function to calculate the derivative, not diff, and the del2 function to calculate the second derivative, both because they are more accurate and because the result of each vector is the same length as the input vector.

MATLAB: Error using plot, vectors must be the same lengths

Plot() doesn't allow the syntax plot(y1,y2,y3). https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/plot.html

If t, y, dfx, and ddfx are of same length, you can try:

plot(t,y,'r',t,dfx,'g',t,ddfx,'b');

Or use

hold on;
