For this challenge you get two inputs: a matrix A and an integer value n. Your function should return a Matrix B of the same size as A with integer values. Thereby, the entry B(i,j) counts the occurrence of lower values in the neighborhood A(i-n:i+n,j) (column wise), while symmetric boundary conditions (A(i<1,j) == A(-i+1,j) should be used (compare to padarray('symmetric')). For example,
assume n to be 2 and a matrix A containing double values, e.g.
A =
0.3147 -0.4025 -0.3424 -0.3581 0.1557 0.2577 0.2060
0.4058 -0.2215 0.4706 -0.0782 -0.4643 0.2431 -0.4682
-0.3730 0.0469 0.4572 0.4157 0.3491 -0.1078 -0.2231
0.4134 0.4575 -0.0146 0.2922 0.4340 0.1555 -0.4538
0.1324 0.4649 0.3003 0.4595 0.1787 -0.3288 -0.4029
then, your function should return
B =
2 1 1 1 3 4 4
3 2 4 2 0 2 0
0 2 3 3 3 1 3
4 2 0 1 4 3 1
2 4 3 4 1 1 3
Explanation: Consider the value -0.3730 in the first column of A. The two entries above and below are all bigger and thus, the corresponding entry in B is 0. However, the entry 0.4134 is bigger than its neighbors (symmetric boundary condition) and thus, the corresponding entry in B is 4. You can assume that n<=size(A,1)

Is the B matrix described above correct?
no, I believe the first and last rows should read [1 0 0 0 2 3 3] and [1 3 2 3 0 0 2], respectively
Is the test suite correct now? An old problem though...
Hello Rifat, I've solved this one recently, and it seems to be ok.
The test suite has been updated and solutions have been rescored.
The example given above is incorrect for B.
See Case Test 1 for the correct B example.
B = [1 0 0 0 2 3 3;...
3 2 4 2 0 2 0;...
0 2 3 3 3 1 3;...
4 2 0 1 4 3 1;...
1 3 2 3 0 0 2]
