Number of peaks in the interval

There is a long vector (20002 values long) that I need to split into intervals (100 each) and find out the number of peaks in this interval

% P3 may data
step = 100;
for i = 1:size(T,2)-step
    i1 = P3(i:i+step);
    [psk(i),length(locsI(i))] = findpeaks(i1,'MinPeakHeigh',-0.55,'MinPeakDistance',5);
end
Unable to perform assignment because the indices on the left side are not compatible with the size of the right side.

Error in DataLen (line 2146)
    [psk(i),length(locsI(i))] = findpeaks(i1,'MinPeakHeigh',-0.55,'MinPeakDistance',5);

I tried this code, but it shows this error

Thank you in advance!

A simpler way (if you have the Signal Processing Toolbox) would be to use the buffer function to segment the vector. Then, simply index into its columns with findpeaks, saving them as cell arrays —

I1bfr = buffer(i1, 100);

for k = 1:size(i1bfr,2)

[psk{i},locs{i}] = findpeaks(i1bfr(:,k),'MinPeakHeigh',-0.55,'MinPeakDistance',5);

end

I created a function that will do the most basic result of buffer and will post it if you need it.

your code gives this error

Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.

Error in DataLen (line 2146)
    [psk{i},locs{i}] = findpeaks(i1bfr(:,k),'MinPeakHeigh',-0.55,'MinPeakDistance',5);

Use MinPeakHeight instead of MinPeakHeigh.

[Star Strider]

I generally use ‘k’ asd a loop counter and I overlooked that. Changing it to ‘i’ —

i1 = randn(1, 20002);                           % Create Vector

i1bfr = buffer(i1, 100);
for i = 1:size(i1bfr,2)
    [psk{i},locs{i}] = findpeaks(i1bfr(:,i),'MinPeakHeight',-0.55,'MinPeakDistance',5);
end

Check_col = randi(size(i1bfr,2))                % Random Column

Check_col = 56

Check_psk = psk{Check_col}                             

Check_psk = 13×1

3.2909 0.3846 2.4034 0.9977 1.3251 1.4506 0.7487 -0.0439 1.2453 1.4611

Check_locs = locs{Check_col}

Check_locs = 13×1

4 11 18 28 35 42 48 54 60 72

That should work.

Use MinPeakHeight as the parameter name for findpeaks. You do not show the definition of locsI or psk in your sample code.

Twenty thousand is not a long vector. You can use findpeaks on the whole thing and split it up later. This will avoid any "edge effects" from where you split your vector.

If you have any more questions, then attach your data and code to read it in with the paperclip icon after you read this:

save('answers.mat', 'T', 'p3');

And, as Star showed, you can't use length in the output argument list. And you need to use cell arrays (use braces instead of parentheses). See the FAQ:

https://matlab.fandom.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_a_cell_array?

Corrected code

[psk{i}, locsI{i} = findpeaks(i1,'MinPeakHeight',-0.55,'MinPeakDistance',5);

If you need the length of it (but it does not look like you do), then compute it afterwards
