I have problem executing cases for second function, f2 takes value based on the value of x for each band. Only one case which is the third case is not executed despite the condition is met. Can anyone help me finding the problem? Also, is there any other good way to do it.
x= [0.3:0.01:0.6];
f1 = [0.3:0.01:0.6];
f2 = zeros(size(f1));
for i=1:size(f1,2)
if x(1,i) <= 0.338
f2(1,i) = 5*x(1,i) - 0.50;
z=1;
elseif 0.338 < x(1,i) <= 0.465
f2(1,i) = 4*x(1,i) - 0.50;
z=2;
% it seems this case is not executed despite the condition is met?!!
elseif 0.465 < x(1,i) <= 0.584
f2(1,i) = 3*x(1,i) - 0.30;
z=3;
elseif x(1,i) > 0.584
f2(1,i) = 2*x(1,i) - 0.15;
z=4;
end
end
figure (1); plot(x, f1, 'b', x, f2, 'r--');

The easy way is to use a version of ‘logical indexing’, and combine all the statements into one assignment (or in my code here, an anonymous function):
The Code
x = [0.3:0.01:0.6];
f1 = [0.3:0.01:0.6];
f2 = zeros(size(f1));
f2 = @(x) (x <= 0.338).*(5*x - 0.50) + ((0.338 < x) & (x <= 0.465)).*(4*x - 0.50) + ((0.465 < x) & (x <= 0.584)).*(3*x - 0.30) + (x > 0.584).*(2*x - 0.15);
figure (1)
plot(x, f1, 'b', x, f2(x), 'r--')
grid
