You can calculate the 5 point moving average using the MATLAB function movmean

pentadAvg = movmean(dataArray, 5)

Thanks I see the movmean average. But isnt it suppose to give me 5 days averages. For e.g. I am expecting 73 pentads in a year?. The movmean gives me all the 365 days still.

[Yash Totla]

movmean will return the 5 day moving average

pentadAvg(3) = average(day1, day2, day3, day4, day5)
pentadAvg(4) = average(day2, day3, day4, day5, day6)

Are you expecting the following result instead

pentad(1) = average(day1, day2, day3, day4, day5)
pentad(2) = average(day6, day7, day8, day9, day10)
