Dear experts,
I would like to randomly select an element from a vector satisfying a condition. In fact, I want to know what is the fastest way. For example, suppose vector X defined as follows:
X = [1 2 3 4 5 2 3 6 7 8 8 7 9 10 0 1 2 3 8 5 6 4];
How should I randomly select and identify the index of an element in this vector, which is greater than 2?
Thanks for your help,
Amir

The solution seems fine and pretty optimal to me. If you insist on faster move away from MATLAB or buy a faster computer.

This is a two-step process:
- create an intermediate array with all elements of X satisfying your condition
- select a single element from that
You can combine the two steps in a single command:
randsample(X(X>2), 1)

Relative speeds are going to depend on the length of X and the value N that the elements have to be greater than, (2 in the example). The following is generally faster, by a factor of 2 or so.
f = find(X > M); % M = 2
Ind = f(randi(length(f)));
