I have the following 2-D array and would like to sum the values in second column based on their index values in frist column. Please Note that I don't want to pre-define a vector of index values!
Any Ideas? Thanks!
X =
0 1
100 89
0 2
50 24
100 140
0 11
33 72
67 317
100 209

[a,~,c] = unique(X(:,1));
out = [a, accumarray(c,X(:,2))];

I went from a sparse matrix representation followed by a summation, to your solution and it is tens of times faster!
Previous implementation:
ValueReps = sparse(rows_i,cols_j,values(cols_j))
out = sum(ValueReps,2);
Great solution! Very efficient!
