It is mostly a matter of taste as to which to use. I tend to go for things that are easily read and understood by the most people. I needed to look up the doc on ACCUMARRAY to understand the above code. So, I suspect many people, myself included, would take longer to understand the shorter code. It is all trade-offs, and knowing several ways of doing something is great. Good find, I will have to add that to my bag of MATLAB tricks. -Thanks, Doug Ilya,

binMean = accumarray(whichBin, y, [], @mean)

I think I may start getting active over there. Thanks for pointing it out! Ken I just checked out Stack Overflow last night, and it looks like a pretty cool community.

It is currently divided in 4 parts : MATLAB , GUI, IMAGE and Signal Processing. For each part we promote the new releases of MATLAB and of course your blogs! 3 years ago we built a community for French MATLAB users here:
