Hi. I have a set of random numbers let's say x=[-2,-4,-7,-1,...,-3], and I need writting a code to divide x into equal intervals (let's say each interval has 50 numbers), then I want to caculate the mean of each interval and compare it with the mean of the previouse interval. Can any one help me with that please. your help is much appreciated in advanced.

I understood your question somewhat different: "I have N numbers {x(1) x(2) ... x(N-1) x(N)} and want to split them into several groups of K values: {x(1) ... x(K)} { x(K+1) ... x(2*K)} {...} without not changing the order of the elements. For each group I would like to take the mean."
There are several ways to answer this question. Examples:
% some data
X = randi(10,1,10) % N = 10
K = 3
% Note that N is not necessarily a multiple of K
idx = 1 + floor((0:numel(X)-1)/K)
M1 = accumarray(idx(:), X(:), [], @mean)
M2 = arrayfun(@(ix) mean(X(ix:min(ix+K-1,end))), 1:K:numel(X))
