Remove NaN from a matrix

Hi,
I have matrix B = (366 x 39) and has NaN values in every column. How can I remove NaN and obtain the mean of every column. The resulting matrix C should be a 1 x 39 matrix.
Thanks in advance.

If you have the appropriate toolbox, you can use the function: nanmean
If have the Stats Toolbox, then just nanmean
If don't, it's more of a pain; unless the NaN are consistent in number per column you'll end up w/ a "jagged" array which isn't allowed in an array. Hence you'll need to accumulate by column--the "deadahead" solution is a loop and for small matrices of this order it'll undoubtedly be "fast enough"...
nc=size(B,2); % number columns in B
m=zeros(1,nc); % preallocate for the means vector
for i=1:nc
m(i)=mean(isfinite(B(:,i))); % compute mean of values less NaN's and Inf's
end
You can use accumarray for this w/o the loop...seed doc's for details
