function [strag] = stragglers3d(M,S); % STRAGGLERS3d(M,S) --- Finds the proportion of points in array 'M' which are stragglers, % i.e. that are not in a group. Groups are defined by the 'findgroups3d' function, of % which 'S' is the structure output, containing the members for each group. %Based on 'stragglers' by Ian McFarland. Modified by Jim Work, University %of South Carolina, August 13th, 2003. % First, a counter is initialized. count = 0; % Next, the size of each group in the structure 'S' will be checked; if the size (n) % is 1, one will be added to the count. for i = 1:size(S,2) G = S(i).members; % Pulls a group out of M. n = size(G,2); % Finds the size of that group. if n == 1 % Check to see if it's a straggler. If so, count = count + 1; % the count is advanced. end end % Finally, the count of stragglers is divided by the total number in the array to % get the proportion. strag = count/size(M,1);
