I am trying to find the average of a 58 x 1000 matrix and the result should be a 58 X 48 matrix.

So, my data is already loaded on matlab and pre processed. My parameter are a time matrix (1 x 48) and temperature matrix which is 58 X 1000. I am trying to find the average of the 58 x1000 matrix with the account of the time matrix so that my temperature matrix comes out to be 58 X 48. Eventually, I want a plot of time (x-axis) vs. temp (y axis).

How can I find the average of my 58 X1000 so that the result matrix is 58 X 48?

What do the rows and columns of your temperature matrix represent? Which dimension is time? Do you want to average over all times?

My temperature matrix is a 3D matrix actually it is(1 X 58 X1000). 1 represents 'day 1', 58 rows represents 'different levels of height' the data is collected at and 1000 columns represent data points collected at each height. Then I have a time matrix which is 2D. I just want matlab to take average of tht temperature matrix over a time lapse of 30 min. So, that I end up with a 58 X 48 matrix... does that make sense?

Thank u !

mean(...) along the rows of temperature matrix.
