Use index from max() to extract matching values from another array

3 views (last 30 days)
Suppose I have 2 n x m arrays A and B and I get the maximum element of each column of A with
[~,I] = max(A)
Now I want to use I to extract the elements of B that correspond to the max element of each column of A.
For example (the example itself is of no particular interest)
A = rand(5)
B = A.^2
[~,I] = max(A)
Now I would like to have a one line command that extracts from B a row vector consisting of, for each j, the I'th element of column j.
Thanks!

Bmax = B(sub2ind(size(B), I, 1:size(B,2)))

I'm afraid I can't understand what you are trying to do. Could you augment the code snippet above to make it an MWE. This would require a sample specification of mydata. I also can't see the relationship between your text and the sample code.

thanks for responding, attached file as max with its indexand mydata has to find those index values and place it to a new cell. for example, i have index value 690, i am finding in mydata which has (8.1510,110.9065) but i need only first col value only for every index.
