MEAN Average or mean value. For vectors, MEAN(X) is the mean value of the elements in X. For matrices, MEAN(X) is a row vector containing the mean value of each column. For N-D arrays, MEAN(X) is the mean value of the elements along the first non-singleton dimension of X. MEAN(X,DIM) takes the mean along the dimension DIM of X. Example: If X = [0 1 2 3 4 5] then mean(X,1) is [1.5 2.5 3.5] and mean(X,2) is [1 4] See also MEDIAN, STD, MIN, MAX, COV.
