Generating a histogram from a cell array using cell2mat

25 views (last 30 days)
Hi All,
I am attempting to generate a histogram from a cell array using the cell2mat function. Using the code below, I am receiving the following error:
Error using histogram>parseinput (line 306)
Trailing input arguments must occur in name-value pairs.
Error in histogram (line 145)
[opts,passthrough,dispatchToCategorical] = parseinput(args,firstaxesinput);
Error in untitled (line 51)
histogram (R0array,[0:0.1:3],"probability");
I am very new to coding in matlab, and I assumed that once I transitioned the cell array to a double array the histogram would play nice. I am confused by what is meant by a "name-value pair." Any help would be greatly appreciated!
%Total number of replicates
n=1000;
%Generating cells to store results
result=cell(n,1);
%Generating cells to store values for R0
R0result=cell(n,1);
%Figure hold to plot all 1000 replicates on a single graph
figure; hold on
%Latin hypercube with 1000 values generated for 11 parameters
LHS=lhdesign(1000,11);
for k=1:n
%Initial conditions
n=16956;
y20=10;
y30=0;
%Parameters I am hoping to sample randomly using LHS instead of "rand"
p=(407-341)*rand+341;
d=(1/42-1/50)*rand+1/50;
yc=(4.923*10^-3-8.8*10^-5)*rand+8.8*10^-5;
yi=(4.923*10^-3-8.8*10^-5)*rand+8.8*10^-5;
a=(1/30-1/120)*rand+1/120;
r=(0.30-.10)*rand+0.1;
i=(1/4-1/15)*rand+1/15;
bc=(1.5*10^-3-1.5*10^-5)*rand+1.5*10^-5;
bi=(1.5*10^-3-1.5*10^-5)*rand+1.5*10^-5;
c=(50-5)*rand+5;
tr=(0.2-0.01)*rand+0.01;
%Time step and length
tspan=[(1:0.1:500)];
%Function definition
[t,y] = ode23s(@(t,y) [p*(1-yc-yi) + a*y(2) + tr*y(3) - (c*bc*y(2)*y(1))/n - (c*bi*y(3)*y(1))/n - d*y(1); p*yc + (c*bc*y(2)*y(1))/n + (c*bi*y(3)*y(1))/n - a*y(2) - r*i*y(2) - d*y(2); p*yi + r*i*y(2) + - d*y(3)-tr*y(3);], tspan, [n y20 y30]);
%Storing results in cells
result{k} = y;
%Graphing all replicates for y(2).
plot(t, y(:,2));
%Generating an R0 for each iteration of the random parameters
R0 = (c*bc+r*i*c*(bi/d))/(a+r*i+d);
R0result{k}= R0;
end
histogram (R0array,[0:0.1:3],"probability");
R0array = cell2mat(R0result);

What is dimension of R0result? What is size of each cell array?

The R0 array is 1000x1, and each cell is a single number. Atsushi Ueno provided the answer below by noting that I needed to include an additional property name. Thank you for responding,though! I really appreciate all the support this site gives!

histogram(___,Name,Value) specifies additional options with one or more Name,Value pair arguments using any of the previous syntaxes. For example, you can specify 'BinWidth' and a scalar to adjust the width of the bins, or 'Normalization' with a valid option ('count', 'probability', 'countdensity', 'pdf', 'cumcount', or 'cdf') to use a different type of normalization. For a list of properties, see Histogram Properties.
So, you need additinal property name 'Normalization'.
histogram (R0array,[0:0.1:3],'Normalization','probability');
