Finding the Mean Value

Finding the Mean Value

Finding the Mean Value

(OP)
I've written the following code to calculate the Mean Values of  x, y & z.
***************************************************************
for i=2:size(A)  % A = column of input data
 x(i) =          % formula
 y(i) =          % formula
 z(i) =          % formula
end

Mean_x=mean(x);  % mean value of all the values of x
Mean_y=mean(y);  % mean value of all the values of y
Mean_z=mean(z);  % mean value of all the values of z
***************************************************************

With this code, the mean value is calculated for i=1:size(A)
taking x(1), y(1) & z(1) as 0. I need to calculate the mean for i=2:size(A), excluding x(1), y(1) & z(1). How can I do that? Thanks in advance!

RE: Finding the Mean Value

um...

Mean_x = mean(x(2:length(A));
