Forgive me if my understanding is lacking, I'm new to this. I've come across a way to get the row and column for the minimum value of a matrix, but I'm not quite sure what exactly it's saying.
[row,column]=find(sse==min(sse(:)));
This seems to work, but I don't quite get it. Doesn't == set the two sides equal to one another? My interpretation of this is that it is setting the matrix sse equal to its minimum, but that's obviously not what it's doing? Would I just be better off with the ind2sub command? I don't fully understand exactly what that does.
thanks

One = sign sets, two compares. Break it down into pieces:
[1 2 3 3 pi] == 3
The result is a logical vector. Find then finds all of the "true" ones in this and gives row/col coordinates.
