Matlab/Octave 1-of-K representation

Question

I have a y of size 5000,1 (matrix), which contains integers between 1 and 10. I want to expand those indices into a 1-of-10 vector. I.e., y contains 1,2,3... and I want it t

Answer 1

Consider the following:

y = randi([1 10],[5 1]);       %# vector of 5 numbers in the range [1,10]
yy = bsxfun(@eq, y, 1:10)';    %# 1-of-10 encoding

Example:

>> y'
ans =
     8     8     4     7     2
>> yy
yy =
     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0     1
     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     1     0     0
     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     1     0
     1     1     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0     0
