How to delete repeating column or duplicate column in MATLAB? of type Double

75 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
How to delete the repeating or duplicate columns in matrix, is there any function in MATLAB?, for example in the input array row 2 are basically the occurance or row 1 values, so i am basically counting how many times that partiuclar value in row 1 has appeared in row 1.
Thanks in Advance
input array:
2 2 5 1 1 3 4 3 4
2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2
output array:
2 5 1 3 4
2 1 2 2 2
or more precise
1 2 3 4 5
2 2 2 2 1

Is the "more precise" one like that because it is sorted by the top row?
Is there any special way to handle repeated values in the top row?

how to code to delet repeating value in a row like this:
from
a = [1 2 2 4 4 2 2 1 1 4 4 ]
become
b = [1 2 4 2 1 4]

This really should be a new Q? because to Answer here isn't responsive to the original -- but...
a = [1 2 2 4 4 2 2 1 1 4 4 ] ;
ix=find(diff(a));
a([1 ix+1])
ans = 1×6
1 2 4 2 1 4

>> uA=unique(A);
>> B=[uA;histc(A,uA)]
B =
1 2 3 4 5
2 2 2 2 1
>>
ADDENDUM: Above works with only the first row and computes the counts on the presumption they had to have been obtained somewhere before to have been posted...
