Calculating Average Duration/Length in an Array

Hello,
I have an array that contains 1 2 3 which each represents a state i.e) 1=sunny day 2=rainy day 3=cloudy day. The array is about 1 million length.
Example: [3 3 3 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 3 3]
I would like to figure out the average duration of each state. For state 1, it would be (4+2/2)= 3 days. For state 2, it would be (1+1/2=)1day. And state 3 it would be (3+2/2)=2.5days
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestion or tips on how to do this with minimal code.
Cheers, David

The histc function (with help from unique) is probably the easiest option:
W = [3 3 3 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 3 3];
bins = unique(W);
k = histc(W,bins);
avg = k./2;

Thanks, I got it all figured out now. Your advice and http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/331664 helped me do it
My pleasure!
I thought you might want to find out the number of repeated sequences next, but I opted to wait and find out. I’m glad you found an applicable solution to the repeated-sequence problem.
