How to take an average every four columns?

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I have seen similar questions but I am getting stuck altering the code for what I want. I have a matrix of (64 x 18144), each row is a met station and each column is a 15 minute data measurement - I want to convert this to hourly data for each station - so I want to have an output matrix of (64 x 4536). I have seen some solutions but I don't have the 'tools' they require. Any help/ideas would be very much appreciated! :)

x = your 64x1844 matrix
result = reshape(mean(reshape(x.',4,[])),size(x,2)/4,[]).';

A - your matrix (64 x 18144)
B = A.';
[m,n] = size(B);
t = minutes((0:m)'*15);
Tb = array2timetable(B,'RowTimes',t);
Tout = retime(Tb,'hourly','mean');
out = Tout{:,:}';
