Trouble with a correlation analysis code

2 views (last 30 days)
I'm writing a code to run a correlation analysis between two variables under certain conditions. I want to see if there is a correlation between the second column and the first if the second's value is greater than 0. I wrote the following code, but MATLAB continues to print the error, "Index exceeds matrix dimensions".
clear all
indicators = xlsread('largedata1.xlsx');
X = xlsread('largedata1.xlsx', 1, 'A:A');
rows = indicators(:,2)>0; %Logical vector with the rows which satisfy all conditions.
if any(rows) % True if there is at least 1 row which meats the condition.
md1 = fitlm(indicators(rows, [2]), X(rows)); % Fit with the rows which satisfy condition.
end
Can you please help?
Best, A

Can you attach 'largedata.xlsx' so people can try your code?

Hello,
I downloaded your data and ran your code and it didn't encounter any errors for me (rows was a logical vector so rows==1 actually isn't needed like I suggested - I was testing with a double vector).

indicators = xlsread('largedata1.xlsx');
X = xlsread('largedata1.xlsx', 1, 'A:A');
rows = indicators(:,2)>0; %Logical vector with the rows which satisfy all conditions.
if any(rows) % True if there is at least 1 row which meats the condition.
md1 = fitlm(indicators(rows, [2]), X(rows)); % Fit with the rows which satisfy condition.
end
>> md1
md1 =
