- Create a nTimeStampsTotal x nSignals data-matrix, where nTimeStampsTotal is the number of total timestamps (e.g. samples) from the first to the last timestamp among all signals (again: assuming constant sampling rate & phase) and nSignals is the number of signals.
- For each signal's timestamp find the according sample in the background matrix and assign them to yourmatrix.

Hi,
Wondering if I could get some ideas, or guide me to a similar example, on how I can organize 300 times series of data, each time series has data in column 1 (numerical, double) and date/time (01-Jan-2000 00:00:00) in column 2. These time series can have from ~10,000 to ~115,000 data points, and can have both different start and end date/time and time steps between data points. Ideally I would like to end with a matrix that can have in column 1 the date/time, and then consecutive 300 columns with the data organized respect to date/time (column 1).
I believe my first step should be to use the function datetime to create a vector (column 1) with NaN's having the star and end date/time from the longest time series of these 300 time series, and an interval of time that represent the smallest time step from the time series. Then, add it as column 1 to a large matrix generated with just NaN’s that has the # of rows from column 1 and a total of 301 columns (date/time column plus 300 data columns). Thus a “background” matrix is generated. This is something I can do.
But my specific question is how I could run a loop that extract the index, based on date/time, for each of the 300 time series, and then insert the data of each time series into the “background” matrix, column by column.
This is a simple example of how my data looks like (date/time represented as serial date number from matlab):
730486.000 0.500 730486.014 0.800 730486.000 0.500
730486.007 NaN 730486.028 4.000 730486.021 NaN
730486.014 0.700 730486.042 2.100 730486.042 0.700
730486.021 3.000 730486.056 4.100 730486.063 3.000
730486.028 2.000 730486.083 2.000
730486.035 4.000 730486.104 4.000
730486.042 1.000 730486.125 1.000
730486.049 0.100 730486.140 0.100
730486.056 10.000 730486.167 10.000
730486.063 -1.000
And this is what I would like to generate:
730486.000 0.500 NaN 0.500
730486.007 NaN NaN NaN
730486.014 0.700 0.800 NaN

730486.049 0.100 NaN NaN
730486.056 10.000 4.100 NaN
730486.063 -1.000 NaN 3.000
730486.069 NaN NaN NaN
730486.076 NaN NaN NaN

Hey Robert!
First, a conceptual question: Can you make sure you have the same sampling interval & phase across all your signals (e.g. are the timestamps always like in your example?). If not, things will get really complicated (you have to resample which might increase your data amount by A LOT). If it is, then I would do two steps:
The following code snippet exemplifies this.
data = NaN(nTimeStampsTotal,nSignals); % Data matrix.
for i = 1:nSignals
isSample = ismember(signalTimestamps{i},bgTimestamps); % Signal timestamp cell & background timestamp matrix.
data(isSample,i) = signalData{i}; % Signal data cell.
end
Be aware, that the ismember call assumes that ALL your timestamps in the signal are present in the background matrix!
Hope that helps, Greetings, David

If you have access to R2016b, I recommend looking at timetables. Even if you don't, I recommend looking at datetime and duration. This
>> .007*86400
ans =
604.8
seems like kind of a funny sampling rate, I guess it's the closest you can get to 10 min using only thousandths of days. And the fractional part of 730486.167 is not an even multiple of the apparent step size. Perhaps that's all just a display artifact, but things like this are one reason to switch from datenums to datetimes and durations.
>> datetime(2000,1,1,0,0:10:240,0)'
ans =
25×1 datetime array
01-Jan-2000 00:00:00
01-Jan-2000 00:10:00
[snip]
01-Jan-2000 04:00:00
or
>> datetime(2000,1,1) + (0:minutes(10):hours(4))';
Anyway, given the three matrices of datenums and values you show, stored as x1, x2, and x3, if you convert them to timetables
>> tt1 = timetable(datetime(x1(:,1),'ConvertFrom','datenum'),x1(:,2),'VariableNames',{'X1'})
tt1 =
10×1 timetable
Time X1

>> tt3 = timetable(datetime(x3(:,1),'ConvertFrom','datenum'),x3(:,2),'VariableNames',{'X3'});
then this gets you one timetable, at the actual sampled times:

tt123 =
15×3 timetable
Time X1 X2 X3

and this gets you the same data put onto the vector of datenums you showed:

But I'm skeptical that that's what you actually want. If your datenums are just rounded for display, and you've really got a 10 min sample interval, both of the above work nicely. But if you really do have those irregular sample times, and want to project them on something more regular, aggregation within synchronize will do that too:
>> timesteps = datetime(2000,1,1) + (0:minutes(10):(hours(4)+minutes(10)));
>> tt123 = synchronize(tt1,tt2,tt3,timesteps,'firstvalue')
tt123 =

Robert, I'm not able to follow your description. Can you give a short example of what's happening? I'm puzzled how you'd get NaTs in the time vector.
