Find all unique values and replace it with new values

5 views (last 30 days)
I have a vector with values
v = [0.23; 0.1; 0.33; 0.23 ; 0.33; 0.6; 0.6; 0.4];
I would like to find the unique values and replace the vector with numbers from 1, like
newV = [1; 2; 3; 1 ; 3; 4; 4; 5];

findgroups()
But since you are using floating point numbers you really should use the third output of uniquetol() instead

v = [0.23; 0.1; 0.33; 0.23 ; 0.33; 0.6; 0.6; 0.4];
[c,ia,newV] = unique(v,'stable') ;
newV
newV = 8×1
1 2 3 1 3 4 4 5

Will this do:
v = [0.23; 0.1; 0.33; 0.23 ; 0.33; 0.6; 0.6; 0.4];
% newV = [1; 2; 3; 1 ; 3; 4; 4; 5];
[g, Tid] = findgroups(v)
g = 8×1
2 1 3 2 3 5 5 4
Tid = 5×1
0.1000 0.2300 0.3300 0.4000 0.6000
I know it doesn't match your desired but it's easy and maybe you don't need that exact order. If you need that exact order, can you explain why you need that order? (And don't jsut say I need it because I need it.)
