Take average of multiple matrices

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

@Amir Hosein Shokouhy,

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

Thanks William, it works!

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

Answer 2

[KSSV]

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

Answer 3

Try this

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

peek

>> avg
avg =
            0            0            0            0            0
