How to transfer a few rows randomly from a matrix A to other matrices of the set of N matrices?

For example we have 5 matrices A,B,C,D,E and we select the best matrix based on a certain parameter and suppose it is A, then we transfer a few rows from matrix A to the corresponding rows of other matrices (B,C,D and E).

For example

 A = [0     0     0     1     0     0     0    
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0     
     0     0     0     0     0     1     0     
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0     0     0     1]

 B = [0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     1     0     0     0     0     0     0 
     0     0     0     1     0     0     0 
     0     0     0     0     1     0     0
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0]

 C = [1     0     0     0     0     0     0
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0     0     1     0
     0     0     0     1     0     0     0]

 D = [0     0     1     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0     1     0     0
     1     0     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     1     0     0     0
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0]

 E = [0     0     0     0     0     1     0
     0     0     0     1     0     0     0
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0
     1     0     0     0     0     0     0]

Now we select matrix A and transfer randomly a few rows (suppose 2nd and 4th rows) to the corresponding rows of other matrices B,C,D and E and the result should be like this..

 A = [0     0     0     1     0     0     0    
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0     
     0     0     0     0     0     1     0     
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0     0     0     1]    

 B = [0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0 
     0     0     0     1     0     0     0 
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0]

 C = [1     0     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     1     0     0     0]

 D = [0     0     1     0     0     0     0
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0
     1     0     0     0     0     0     0
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0]

 E = [0     0     0     0     0     1     0
     0     0     1     0     0     0     0
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     0     1     0     0     0     0     0
     1     0     0     0     0     0     0]

@MANISH KUMAR: you should probably read this:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/304528-tutorial-why-variables-should-not-be-named-dynamically-eval

Most likely your code would be much simpler, faster, and more robust if you put all of your data into one array (e.g. an ND array or cell array) rather than in lots or separate variables.

Answer 1

[Guillaume]

Really, the easiest is to concatenate your matrices into a 3D array.

Assuming your ResultM is a cell array:

allmatrices = cat(3, ResultM{:});

It is then trivial to copy the rows of a page to the other pages:

selectedpage = 1; %1 for A, 2 for B, etc.
selectedrows = randperm(size(allmatrices, 1), 2);  %two random rows

%copy selected rows of selected page to all pages:
allmatrices(selectedrows, :, :) = repmat(allmatrices(selectedrows, :, selectedpage), 1, 1, size(allmatrices, 3));

Answer 2

[KSSV]

Let A,B,C,D,E be your matrices.

[nx,ny] = size(A) ;
rows = 1:nx ;
% select two random rows 
idx = randsample(rows,2) ;
% put these rows into other matrices 
B(idx,:) = A(idx,:) ;
C(idx,:) = A(idx,:) ;
D(idx,:) = A(idx,:) ;
E(idx,:) = A(idx,:) ;

[MANISH KUMAR]

Dear @KSSV Sir, This code is working excellent But my matrices are stored under 'ResultM' which gives all the five matrices. How to copy rows from a matrix to other matrices of 'ResultM'?

[KSSV]

A = rand(5,7) ;
B = rand(5,7,5) ;

[nx,ny] = size(A) ;
rows = 1:nx ;
% se;lect two random rows
idx = randsample(rows,2) ;
% put these rows into other matrices
for p = 1:size(B,3)
    B(idx,:,p) = A(idx,:) ;
end
