how to average specific rows of all columns?

i am having 100x32 matrix in my data set. i would like to average 20 rows of all columns, like first 20rows average, next 20 and so..on...

can any one help in this problem.

Would the output be, in your example, a 5x32 matrix?

yes

If I understand your question correctly, you can use the movmean command:

% Some made-up data
A = rand(100,32);

N = 20;
movingAverageA = movmean(A,[(N-1) 0]); % Trailing average of N rows

output = movingAverageA(N:N:end,:);

sir, i get an error called undefined function "movmean"... since i am using 2013 version may be this error occured.. can you send one more answer for 2013th version (32 bit).. my output matrix is 5x32.

Did you get it working? You've accepted this answer so I assume so.

in my version its not woking..so i am trying latest version...

to take a moving average of 1 to 20 rows, then 21-40 rows, then 41-60 rows etc.

of a data matrix with n rows and m columns.

you may also try:

for i=1:(n/20) % given that n is a multpile of 20 or your choice of no. of rows to average.
    a=(i-1)*20+1;
    b=(i-1)*20+20;
    meandata(i,:) = mean(data(a:b,:),1);
end

The first index are the rows. For example to average only the first 20 rows

columnMeans = mean(data([1:20], :), 1);

Or to average rows 34, 23, and 194, do

rowsToAverage = [34, 23, 194];
columnMeans = mean(data(rowsToAverage, :), 1);

[laxminarayana pasupuleti]

this is not working

This seems to work:

data = randi(9, 100, 32) % Sample 100x32 data
columnMeans = [
  mean(data([1:20], :), 1);
  mean(data([21:40], :), 1);
  mean(data([41:60], :), 1);
  mean(data([61:80], :), 1);
  mean(data([81:100], :), 1)]

Is that what you want?
