3D matrix [message #89798] Thu, 04 December 2014 03:09 Go to next message

Hi

I have a 3D matrix A = Array[100, 200, 200]
A = [time, x, y]

I want to create a matrix B which is the average of the first 10 time points (total is 100 time points). I should end up with a 2D matrix B=Array[200,200].

Can anyone help please?

How about
b = mean(a[0:9,*,*],dimension=1)

is this what you mean?

dimension keyword is not allowed in call to mean.

I tried the b = mean(a[0:9,*,*]) but I end up with a single value which is not what I need.

I have an old version of IDL 6.4. I don't know if this causes the problem and I can't use the keyword dimension

IDL> a = findgen(100,200,200)
IDL> b = mean(a[0:9,*,*], dimension=1)
IDL> help, b
B FLOAT = Array[200, 200]
IDL> !version
{
"ARCH": "x86_64",
"OS": "Win32",
"OS_FAMILY": "Windows",
"OS_NAME": "MicrosoftWindows",
"RELEASE": "8.4",
"BUILD_DATE": "Sep272014",
"MEMORY_BITS": 64,
"FILE_OFFSET_BITS": 64
}

I guess you don't have the latest version of IDL.
Well, calculating the mean is not that difficult:

b = total(a[0:9,*,*], 1)/10.0

Cheers,
Helder
