My data is in a nxm array named x. What I want to do is calculate the average of the values in each of the columns above a certain threshold. So the output should be a 1xm vector.
mean(x) obviously does this without specifying a threshold. mean(x>70)
performs a truth check and basically returns the percentage of values above the threshold for each column
You could define a new variable as such
y = x > 70
and then
mean(x(y))
but this returns the average over all the columns of x.
There's a very cumbersome way of doing it by having a line of code for every column.
mean(x(y(1:end,1)))
And so on, but this is obviously ugly.
I feel like I'm missing something simple here. Hopefully someone will be able to help out.
You've forgotten that you can multiply the mask through element-wise
threshold = []; %define threshold here; it can be a 1xm vector or a scalar.
output = sum(x.*(x>threshold))./sum(x>threshold);
