matlab isn't a programming language.

I've had a fucking awful time to get it to work with symbolic stuff, x=7 or something, it's annoying as hell because I'd rather stay at home and do the work here than go to my class and work there.

but it is

Sorry that you're a skrub.

Have you ever seen any programming videos on the MATLAB youtube channel.

this to be honest

how is their retarded youtube channel relevant?

NEETS please leave

not him, but matlab is a piece of crap, desu

>still using MATLAB when you could use

cls yourself

But why is matlab so shit compared to things like ?

R + ggplot2 reporting in

Hello my fellow patrician.

vector programming is love, vector programming is life

matlab was there first, no?

When I hear people talk about Matlab I feel like everyone else is using Matlab for writing high performance applications, games with graphic acceleration. It is slow but it's good enough for what it does which is modelling and simulation, because you need a very straightforward language to do these since you'll be doing the thinking about the model (not the language you're implementing it with) most of the time anyway.

And even then most of the things that are slow in Matlab (for loops for example) usually have an alternative for special cases that run much faster.

EE friend of mine told me that it's really easy to connect it to microcontrollers and sensors.

Matlab is literally the easiest programming language. You just have pay attention to the function signatures, and to save the files before running, and everything afterward is idiotproof.

Anyone used Maxima?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxima_(software)

Haha no, MATLAB is great.

I'll show you an implementation I made 8 years ago of the solution to the problem described in chapter 5 of this book: ime.usp.br/~jstern/books/evli.pdf

The technique employed is called simulated annealing with heuristic acceleration, and a genetic programming algorithm also described in that chapter of the book was also used.

Here's the code:

File: annealing.mat
#!/usr/bin/octave -qf
% File: annealing.mat

Smax = 200;

[args, cnt] = sscanf(fgetl(stdin), "%f", 5);

b = args(1);
m = args(2);
n = args(3);

params = eval(fgetl(stdin));
A = eval(fgetl(stdin));
x = eval(fgetl(stdin));

W = [];
unsh = ones(1, b+1);
unsv = ones(m, 1);
aux = (x*unsh == unsv*(1:b+1));
for i=1:n
W = [W, sum((A(:,i) != 0)*unsh & aux)'];
endfor

cardq = sum(W(1:b, :) > 0);
sk = sum(aux);
hk = (sk(1:b) .- m/b).^2;
c = sum((cardq >= 2));
r = sk(b+1);

cost = params(1)*sum(hk) + params(2)*c + params(3)*r;

phiroot = sqrt((1+sqrt(5))/2);

invtemp = args(4);
mu = args(5);
step = ceil(log2(Smax * m * n)^phiroot);
eps1 = 1/log(step);
eps2 = eps1 + 1/(m*n);
minrate = 1/step;
accepted = 0;
u = sum(cardq(cardq > 1));
heuristiccost = cost + u/mu;

for s=1:Smax

if rem(s, step) == 0
if ( (invtemp > 1) && (accepted/step < minrate) )
break;
else
accepted = 0;
endif
invtemp += eps1*invtemp;
mu += eps2*mu;
endif

row = unidrnd(m);
newcolour = unidrnd(b);
newcolour += (newcolour >= x(row));

W(newcolour, :) = W(newcolour, :) .+ A(row, :);
W(x(row), :) = W(x(row), :) .- A(row, :);

cardq = sum(W(1:b, :) > 0);
sk(newcolour)++;
sk(x(row))--;
hk = (sk(1:b) .- m/b).^2;
c = sum((cardq >= 2));
r = sk(b+1);

Too long, will continue in a follow up post.

absolut shit tier coding

Second half of file annealing.mat:
newcost = params(1)*sum(hk) + params(2)*c + params(3)*r;

u = sum(cardq(cardq > 1));
newheuristiccost = newcost + u/mu;

hdelta = newheuristiccost - heuristiccost;

metropolis = e ^ (-invtemp * hdelta);
if ( (hdelta

Feel free to improve it/do better.

File annealing.mat continued:
[individuals(i).inputdata, individuals(i).outputdata, individuals(i).pid] = popen2("./annealing.mat");

fprintf(individuals(i).inputdata, "%.17g %.17g %.17g %.17g %.17g\n", b, m, n, temp, mu);
fprintf(individuals(i).inputdata, [ mat2str(params), "\n" ]);
fprintf(individuals(i).inputdata, [ mat2str(A), "\n" ]);
fprintf(individuals(i).inputdata, [ mat2str(x(:, i)), "\n" ]);

fclose(individuals(i).inputdata);
endfor

cost = [];
for i=1:nind
waitpid(individuals(i).pid);

[args, cnt] = sscanf(fgetl(individuals(i).outputdata), "%d %f %f", 3);

cost(i) = args(1);

if args(2) > temp
temp = args(2);
endif

if args(3) > mu
mu = args(3);

x(:, i) = eval(fgetl(individuals(i).outputdata));

fclose(individuals(i).outputdata);

[best, ibest] = min(cost);
fprintf(outputdata, "%g\n", best);
fprintf(outputdata, "%d\n", m);
fprintf(outputdata, "%d ", x(:, ibest));
fputs(outputdata, "\n");

costvar = var(cost);

nselec = floor(log10(costvar));
if (nselec > (nind/2))
nselec = floor(nind/2);
endif
if (nselec > 10)
nselec = 10;
endif

selection = rand(1, nind);
adapt = best./cost;
[ord, isel] = sort(adapt .* selection);
seleclow = isel(length(isel)-(nselec-1):length(isel));

>University of Sao Paolo

That explains it

I meant file main.mat here .

Finally, last part of file main.mat:

remainingind = x(:, isel(1:length(isel)-(nselec)));

selection = rand(1, nind-(nselec));
adapt = min(remaining)./(remaining.*remaining);
[ord, isel] = sort(adapt .* selection);
selechigh = isel(length(isel)-(nselec-1):length(isel));

for i=1:nselec
U = unidrnd(2, m, 1);
nind++;
x = [x, x(:, seleclow(i)).*(U == 1) + remainingind(:, selechigh(i)).*(U == 2)];
endfor

deaths = iter;
if(deaths > nind)
break;
endif
for j=1:deaths
[worst, iworst] = max(cost);
x = x(:,[1:(iworst-1), (iworst+1):nind--]);
endfor

iter++;
endwhile

fclose(outputdata);
exit(0)

Are you shit at linear algebra? Tho I understand Mathematica is superior

What are you trying to prove with all this?

some complex problems are easily solved with matlab?
not him, but this is something that i believe

Matlab is second to none in Control system and it has pretty solid Image Processing toolbox too, and it's free.

If you work in R&D matlab is surely a great choice.

hello friendo
