There are two matrices, A
and B
with size m
-by-4 and n
-by-4 respectively. My question is how to apply a function f
, which takes two 1x4 vectors as input, on every row of A and B. The result will be a matrix with size m
xn
. The element [i, j] in result
is f(A(i, :), B(j, :))
.
For example:
A = rand(3, 4);
B = rand(5, 4);
for i = 1 : 3
for j = 1 : 5
result(i, j) = rectint(A(i, :), B(j, :));
end
end
Can I use bsxfun
or arrayfun
to do this job?
You can use arrayfun
, if you first use meshgrid
to generate all combinations of rows:
[ii jj] = meshgrid(1:size(A,1),1:size(B,1));
result = arrayfun(@(n) rectint( A(ii(n),:), B(jj(n),:) ), 1:numel(ii) );
result = reshape(result, size(B,1), size(A,1)).';
You could of course substitute rectint
by any other function that accepts two vector inputs and returns a number.
