Hi all, Is there a function in Matlab that can normalize a matrix such that values lies within 0 and 1 but not equal to 0? Thank you Subject: Matrix normalization From: roberson@ibd.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca (Walter Roberson) Date: 29 Jan, 2008 04:28:57 Message: 2 of 10

A -near- equivilent to the above would be: if any(A(:)) NA = (A - min(A(:))) ./ (max(A(:))-min(A(:))); NA(NA==0) = realmin; else NA = repmat(1/2, size(A)); end
If you need a strict linear transform, something like this should work: if any(A(:)) NA = ((A - min(A(:))) ./ (max(A(:))-min(A(:))) + eps) ./ (1 + 2*eps); else NA = repmat(1/2, size(A)); end -So you found your solution What will be your last contribution? -- Supertramp (Fool's Overture) Subject: Matrix normalization From: Yumnam Kirani Singh Date: 29 Jan, 2008 05:23:51 Message: 3 of 10
If x is your matrix to be normalized then y will be your normalized matrix y=(x-min(min(x)))/(max(max(x))-min(min(x)))

or simply you can use the mat2gray function as y=mat2gray(x); Subject: Matrix normalization From: roberson@ibd.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca (Walter Roberson) Date: 29 Jan, 2008 05:52:20 Message: 4 of 10

That's why I used min(A(:)) and max(A(:)) -- not only saves a function call, but works with any number of dimensions. Also, that form will not work if the matrix is all-zero; that's why I used if any() Also, you have neglected the original poster's condition that the normalized matrix must exclude 0; the normalization you have done will result in 0 at every matrix location that is the same value as the minimum. -'Roberson' is my family name; my given name is 'Walter'.

A matrix cannot have more than two dimensions. Also, there would not be anyone who would try to normalize a zero or an identity matrix or its multiple. Exluding zero is not a big problem. The following code will work in the way you desire. >>y=(x-min(min(x)))/(max(max(x))-min(min(x)))(1-realmin) + realmin; Or alternatively y=mat2gray(x)*(1-realmin) + realmin; Subject: Matrix normalization From: Steven Lord Date: 29 Jan, 2008 14:46:46 Message: 6 of 10

One generalization that people sometimes make once they have their code working for matrices is to make it work for arrays. Using the a(:) notation means that they don't need to modify that section of their code, and it works for matrices and arrays with more than 2 dimensions. > Also, there would not be anyone who would try to normalize a zero or an > identity matrix or its multiple. If there's one thing I've learned in my time here at The MathWorks, it's to never say something like that. Just about anything that isn't physically impossible to do with MATLAB, I believe someone has tried or will try to do at some point. Are you sure that if you write a function to normalize a matrix or array that no one will ever pass in a zero/constant matrix by accident, or to test the code and try to break it? I wouldn't be. > Exluding zero is not a big problem.

function xnorm = normalization(x) xmin = min(x(:)); xmax = max(x(:));

Page 3 of 4
if xmin == xmax % Constant matrix -- I choose to warn and return a NaN matrix warning('normalization:constantMatrix', 'Cannot normalize a constant matrix to the range [0, 1].'); xnorm = nan(size(x)); else xnorm = (x-xmin)./(xmax-xmin); end

Nice points! I don't know whether Steve had bad experience of attempting to normalze a zero matrix!! Subject: Matrix normalization From: roberson@ibd.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca (Walter Roberson) Date: 29 Jan, 2008 17:08:17 Message: 9 of 10

There are different definitions of Matrix. For example if you google on define:matrix then the first relevant definition (5th overall in the list) is, http://archive.stsci.edu/fits/fits_standard/node11.html A data array of two or more dimensions. More verbosely, http://mathstat.asu.edu/support/doc/unix/coping-with-unix/node188.html A bunch of numbers stored together which can be referenced by one or more subscripts. Single-indexed arrays represent mathematical vectors, double- and higher- indexed arrays represent tensors. Each number in an array is an array element. Most of the meanings of "Matrix" with respect to something physical refer to three dimensional materials, such as, http://imnh.isu.edu/digitalatlas/glossary/letter.asp The relatively fine-grained rock material occupying the space between larger particles in a rock. See also groundmass. http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/glossary/index.html The sediment or enclosing material within which archeological remains are found. Matrices are often distinguished on the basis of differences in color and texture. ...

Perhaps you meant eps instead of realmin. Also, I believe you accidently omitted a '*' in the first alternative.
