hi, sorry for this beginner question :
in a matrix I have one line with 'results', I'd like to calculate the ratio of results > 0 to all results. is there a simple/elegant way of doing that ?
thanks

Not sure what you wnat to do.
Can you provide a specific example?
What does "one line with 'results'" mean?

the word 'result' might be misleading. just consider we have a one line vector, with numbers positive and negative, I'd like to calculate the proportion of numbers >0 to those <0.
so for a serie like [6 3 -2 0 0 0] the answer would be 2 / 1 = 2

a = [6 3 -2 0 0 0];
sum(a>0)/sum(a<0)

PS. Don't forget to check that there *are* elements < 0 before you try
this :-)
