Hi
I create an array with shape of (2, 4), now I'd like to expand the array by 2 times in rows and 2 times in columns so the shape of array will become (4, 8). The values in the original small array will be only copied into a big every 2 rows and every 2 columns. NaN will be used for other locations. For example:
Original array, the values are:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
The new array will be:
1 NaN 2 NaN 3 NaN 4 NaN
NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
5 NaN 6 NaN 7 NaN 8 NaN
NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
Then, I'd like to do interpolation to fill NaN in the big array.
Anyone has ideas? Thanks

Your final matrix is 2x16 not 4x8. Show us the final matrix with the interpolation done that you want.

m = [1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8];
y = reshape([[m;nan(size(m))],nan(size(m,2))],2,[])
y = 2×16
1 NaN 2 NaN 3 NaN 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5 NaN 6 NaN 7 NaN 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
Version 2 after question was updated,
y = reshape([reshape([m(:),nan(size(m(:)))]',size(m,1)*2,[]); nan(size(m).*[2,1])],4,[])
y = 4×8
1 NaN 2 NaN 3 NaN 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5 NaN 6 NaN 7 NaN 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
See comment below for an unpacked version of the line above.

Awesome Adam, you are so considerate to help me unpack each line of code for me to understand it. Thank you. I appreciate it.
