how do i get the higher values into the bins

edges=0:10:103

[~, discrete_x] = histc(x, edges);

discrete_x(discrete_x == length(edges)) = length(edges)-1;

discrete_x(discrete_x == 0) = NaN;

in this code the values above 100 is taken as NaN but i want them to go into the 11th bin. how can i do that

Maybe try using histcounts

Here is a small example:

X = randn(1000,1);
edges = [-5 -4 -2 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 2 4 5];
N = histcounts(X,edges)

Where in your example you can specify the edges that you would like.

mine is an older version of matlab. there are only 10 bins totally and the number 103 is taken as nan. i want it to be in the 11th bin. how can get the 11th bin

[Gareth]

Which version of MATLAB do you have?

histcounts came out in R2014b

X= 1:10
X(4) = nan
Y = categorical(X,[1:10 nan])
[a,b] = histcounts(Y)

I believe gives the code that you are looking for, or do you absolutely need to use the histc?

im using 2013

[Bruno Luong]

[~, discrete_x] = histc(x, [edges Inf]);

Yes, indeed this is a more elegant solution if there are no NaNs. I think I misunderstood the question, @Bruno thanks for stepping in.
