Syntax
Description
M = mean(
returns the mean of the
elements of A
)A
along the first array dimension whose size is
greater than 1.
If
A
is a vector, thenmean(A)
returns the mean of the elements.If
A
is a matrix, thenmean(A)
returns a row vector containing the mean of each column.If
A
is a multidimensional array, thenmean(A)
operates along the first array dimension whose size is greater than 1, treating the elements as vectors. The size ofM
in this dimension becomes1
, while the sizes of all other dimensions remain the same as inA
.If
A
is a table or timetable, thenmean(A)
returns a one-row table containing the mean of each variable. (since R2023a)
M = mean(___,
returns the mean
with a specified data type for any of the previous syntaxes.
outtype
)outtype
can be "default"
,
"double"
, or "native"
.
M = mean(___,
specifies
whether to include or omit missing values in missingflag
)A
. For example,
mean(A,"omitmissing")
ignores all missing values when
computing the mean. By default, mean
includes missing
values.
