How to evaluate mean for column
1 view (last 30 days)
Show older comments
I have a data with 5 columns: X,Y,Z,A,B, the first three columns represent coordinates, the next ones some attributes of objects.
A column has values: 0 or 1, B columns has values: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ,3 ,3 , 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, ....
I would like to evaluate the mean value of A column for every individual value in column B. Eg. Evaluate mean value from column A but only for points which in B have value 1.
Does somebody know which function should I use to do this? Thank you in advance!

You can use arrayfun:
dx=zeros(100,1);
dx(randi(100,10,1))=1;
B=cumsum(dx);
A=(1:100).^2;
meanvals=arrayfun(@(x) mean(A(B==x)),unique(B));

values=unique(B);
nums=histc(B,values);
small=nums>5 & out<1.3;
large=nums>5 & out>=1.3;
sl=small+2*large;
In sl you should have what you want. Plese see that I used "nums" as variable name as "Size" is pretty close to "size" and that's a Matlab function. Better don't name variables like this to prevent errors from the beginning.

Below does the example you listed, change the value 1 to do the others.
mean(A(B==1))
