How to compare each element of an array with the rest of the elements for several rows independently?

1 view (last 30 days)
I want to compare each element of an array with the rest of the elements (in a single row of a matrix) and identify which pair(s) of indexes have both values of 1 (in each row). 'nchoosek' works for one row, but when other rows are added like the following example, the code does not work. It is expected the results of each row is independent of other rows.
A =[1 1 0 1 1 0; 0 0 1 0 0 1; 0 0 0 1 1 1; 1 1 1 1 1 1];
for i=1:4
index_matrix(i,:,:) = nchoosek(find(A(i,:)==1),2)
end;

Because each array has a different size you will have to use a cell array:
A = [1 1,0,1,1,0;0,0,1,0,0,1;0,0,0,1,1,1;1,1,1,1,1,1];
N = size(A,1);
C = cell(1,N);
for k = 1:N
V = find(A(k,:));
C{k} = nchoosek(V,2);
end
giving:
>> C{:}
ans =
1 2
1 4
1 5
2 4
2 5
4 5
ans =
3 6
ans =
4 5
4 6
5 6
ans =
1 2
1 3
1 4
1 5
1 6
2 3
2 4
2 5
2 6
3 4
3 5
3 6
4 5
4 6
5 6

Now, I want to access the cell array, C, and identify how many times different indexes have occurred. For example, in the case of above example, the output would be
Cell Array # of times
1 2 2
1 3 1
1 4 2
......
5 6 2
I wrote this
[row, column] = size(C)
for i=1:4
Sum (i) = cellfun(@(x) find(x=='1 2'), C);
end
which is not correct. Your help is appreciated.

>> M = vertcat(C{:});
>> [U,~,X] = unique(M,'rows');
>> N = histc(X,1:max(X));
>> [U,N]
ans =
1 2 2
1 3 1
1 4 2
1 5 2
1 6 1
2 3 1
2 4 2
2 5 2
2 6 1
3 4 1
3 5 1
3 6 2
4 5 3
4 6 2
5 6 2
