Hey Guys. I am looking help with some code I wish to write. I have used code to write data from an Excel file manually by typing in each variable when prompted.

looping through rows one at a time putting each row through a set of if statements to create a table of outcomes

Hey Guys. I am looking help with some code I wish to write. I have used code to write a decision tree from weka and take data from an Excel file manually by typing in each variable when prompted.

I have done this code fine but I want to make this efficient and instead take the data from the Excel file, then row by row put it through my set of if and elseif statements of the tree. The aim is to determine the outcome of the patient based on numerous variables.

column 1 is age

column 2 is gender

column 3...etc for 13 columns

There are 90 patients so 90 rows.

Here is the start

file = uigetfile ('.csv'); 
table = readtable(file);
t = cell2mat(table2cell(table));

Then I assume I create variables from that matrix :

age = t(:,1);
gender = t(:,2);
chest_pain_type = t(:,3);

Here is where I get stuck. Also there are two possible outcomes T or F

patient_outcome = '';

for this_row = t.' %what do i do here i tried 
    if (chest_pain_type>3) & (serum_cholestoral>0) & (st_depression>0.8) & (gender>0)
        patient_outcome = 'T';
    elseif (chest_pain_type>3) & (serum_cholestoral>0) & (st_depression>0.8) & (gender<=0) & (heart_condition>3)
        patient_outcome = 'T';
    elseif (chest_pain_type>3) & (serum_cholestoral>0) & (st_depression>0.8) & (gender<=0) & (heart_condition<=3) & (exercise_induced_angina>0)
        patient_outcome = 'F';
    end
end

thanks I dunno why this removed parts of my question and title.

the answer worked :)

You can edit your question to put back the original title and content (and add the csv you attached to the comment you deleted).

Deleting things and changing the username is not generally an indication of good intentions, so go ahead and prove my cynicism wrong.

Attach a CSV file so we can get started helping you. In the meantime, you probably want to do something like

numRows = height(t); % or size(t, 1)
patient_outcome = false(numRows, 1);
for row = 1 : numRows
    if (chest_pain_type(row)>3) &&&& (serum_cholestoral(row)>0) && (st_depression(row)>0.8) && (gender(row)>0)
        patient_outcome(row) = true;
    elseif (chest_pain_type(row)>3) && (serum_cholestoral(row)>0) && (st_depression(row)>0.8) && (gender(row)<=0) && (heart_condition(row)>3)
        patient_outcome(row) = true;
    elseif (chest_pain_type(row)>3) && (serum_cholestora(row)l>0) && (st_depression(row)>0.8) && (gender(row)<=0) && (heart_condition(row)<=3) && (exercise_induced_angina(row)>0)
        patient_outcome(row) = false;
    end
end

Thanks again perfect
