I have a column in my table containing numerical data, where I want to make them into 4 specific groups in a new column in the same table. I do not know how to write the code, but have attempted the following failed codes. Please correct me.
num_rows = size(Table1.Time,1) %count the number of rows in Table 1
for i=1:1:num_rows
if T1.Time < 5
T1.TimeNew = 5; % Group 1, return in a new column in Table 1
elseif T1.Time >= 5 & T1.Time <15
T1.TimeNew = 15; % Group 2
elseif T1.Time >= 15 & T1.Time <25
T1.TimeNew = 25; % Group 3
else T1.TimeNew = 30; % Group 4 (for any data >=25)
end
end

ii = discretize(T.Time,[-inf,5,15,25,inf])
V = [5,15,25,30]';
T.TimeNew = V(ii);

Oh yes. This is what I am looking for. THANK YOU!!!
May I know what is wrong with the'for and if statements'? Or they are not supposed to be used in this way?
with block if..elseif..else..end
for ii=1:size(T1.Time,1)%count the number of rows in T1
if T1.Time(ii) < 5
T1.TimeNew(ii) = 5; % Group 1, return in a new column in Table 1
elseif T1.Time(ii) >= 5 && T1.Time(ii) <15
T1.TimeNew(ii) = 15; % Group 2
elseif T1.Time(ii) >= 15 && T1.Time(ii) <25
T1.TimeNew(ii) = 25; % Group 3
else
T1.TimeNew(ii) = 30; % Group 4 (for any data >=25)
end
end
other "exotic" variant:
t = [T1.Time < 5,T1.Time >= 5 & T1.Time <15,T1.Time >= 15 & T1.Time <25];
T1.TimeNew = [t,~any(t,2)]*[5;15;25;30];
Alright, I saw my mistakes! Thanks once again :)
thanks!! He also helped me with a similar problem!! :)
