How do I find the percentage of a number of values within a certain range?

27 views (last 30 days)
I have a number of values which represent the differences between two surfaces. I would like to know the percentage of values which lie within a certain range e.g 0.05 and -0.05? How would I go about finding these values and then working out what percentage of the total?

>> M = rand(6,7)-0.5; % matrix of fake data
>> X = -0.05<M & M<0.05; % check conditions
>> nnz(X)/numel(M)
ans = 0.095238
9.5% of the values of M are within the given conditions.

sum(x > -0.05 & x < 0.05) / numel(x) %number of values between -0.05 and 0.05 divided by total number
Or if you want to do that with several interval, use histcounts with the 'Normalization', 'probability' option.
histcounts(x, -3.5:3.5, 'Normalization', 'probability'); %for example for 6 bins
