Take average of multiple matrices

2 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I have a variable that contains 5 matrices (6*5) inside it. I want to take the average of these matrices and store it in a 6*5 matrix. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with that. I will attach the variable to this post.
Thanks,
Amir

Here is a solution:
>> D=open('data.mat');
>> phi=D.phi_BFD_v_sum;
>> phiAvg=zeros(6,5);
>> for i=1:5, phiAvg=phiAvg+phi{i}/5; end
>> disp(phiAvg)
0 0 0 0 0
0.2284 0.6080 0.8000 0.7058 0.4388
0.4377 0.8000 0.2495 -0.5222 -0.7138
0.6112 0.4325 -0.7374 -0.2847 0.7672
0.7355 -0.2412 -0.4568 0.7297 -0.5588
0.8000 -0.7481 0.6222 -0.3616 0.2122

You need not to use loop to achieve this. Did you see the other answers?

load data.mat ;
A = cat(3,phi_BFD_v_sum{:}) ;
iwant = mean(A,3) ;

Try this
%%
load('data.mat')
num = cat( 3, phi_BFD_v_sum{:} );
avg = mean( num, 3 );
peek
>> avg
avg =
