How to determine the distance between a group of XY pairs against other XY pairs within a matrix?

1 view (last 30 days)
I have this mega matrix (1000:4) with observations that has 0 and 1 on the last column.
The second and third column contains the observations' x,y coordinates in m distance. I want to create a condition where it can output the rows that include 0, satisfy the condition that the measured distance between an observation of 0 and 1 that were less than 5m and then count the no. of observations that satisfied both conditions.
How could I list them out? I realise that the essential functions that I can use could be for loop and count. Or maybe I am over complicating?
Thanks!

  1. You can pcik the rows you want of 0 and 1 using logical indexing.
  2. Once you seperate two matrices, use pdist2. This will give you pair wise distances. Read about it.
  3. Once distance is obtained, you can check for your conditions.
