Hi,
I have a structure array of the sort:
sa(1).F1.f1 = 1.1; sa(1).F1.f2 = 1.2;
sa(2).F1.f1 = 2.1; sa(2).F1.f2 = 2.2;
I'd like to find the max of all the fields held in F1 like
f1Max = max(arrayfun(@(x) x.F1.f1, sa));
f2Max = max(arrayfun(@(x) x.F1.f2, sa));
without having to explicity code each of F1's fields. Also prefer not to use eval based on field names. Pretty much thinking there's not really a one liner for this. Hints appreciated.
Chris

Another mix of structfun and arrayfun
>> max( cell2mat( arrayfun( @(S) structfun( @(f) f, S.F1 ), sa, 'uni',false ) ), [], 2 )
ans =
2.1
2.2

Why the nested structure? That's where the problem arises---convert to a struct array, S as
>> S=F1
S =
1×2 struct array with fields:
f1
f2
K>> arrayfun(@(s) structfun(@max,s),S,'UniformOutput',false)
ans =
1×2 cell array
{2×1 double} {2×1 double}

If there's some reason this is absolutely mandatory, you can use fieldnames to return the field names of the struct programmatically and iterate that way. eval would not be needed but still awkward.

For future reference, you could also use my fieldfun function on File Exchange / GitHub. Apart from being more concise and flexible, the main difference is that it outputs a structure with the fields of sa.F1.
sa(1).F1 = struct('f1',1.1,'f2',1.2,'f3',1.3);
sa(2).F1 = struct('f1',2.1,'f2',2.2,'f3',2.3);
sa(3).F1 = struct('f1',3.1,'f2',3.2,'f3',3.3);
fieldfun( @(varargin) max([varargin{:}]) , [sa.F1] )
% Returns struct with fields:
% f1: 3.1000
% f2: 3.2000
% f3: 3.3000
To add a little more detail:
- [sa.F1] converts all of the nested structures in field F1 of structure array sa to an unnested structure array, i.e. a 1x3 struct with fields f1, f2, f3. This uses Comma-Separated Lists.
- The anonymous function is passed the arguments @( sa(1).F1.fm , sa(2).F1.fm , sa(3).F1.fm ) for each field fm of sa.F1.
- varargin puts these arguments into cell array { sa(1).F1.fm , sa(2).F1.fm , sa(3).F1.fm }, which [varargin{:}] converts into matrix [ sa(1).F1.fm , sa(2).F1.fm , sa(3).F1.fm ], which @max can process.
