Efficient moving average of scattered data

I have some scattered data and I'd like to take something similar to a moving average, where I average all values with in some radius of each point. I can do this with a loop, but I'd like a more efficient approach. Any ideas?
Here's a working example I'd like to make more efficient:
x = randi(100,45,1) + 20+3*randn(45,1) ;
y = 15*sind(x) + randn(size(x)) + 3;
figure
plot(x,y,'bo')
radius = 10;
ymean = NaN(size(x));
for k = 1:length(x)
% Indicies of all points within specified radius:
ind = abs(x-x(k))<radius;
% Mean of y values within radius:
ymean(k) = mean(y(ind));
end
hold on
plot(x,ymean,'ks')

When I read the title I thought you might mean "sparse", and was thinking about how I might do an efficient moving average on sparse data.

If you can upgrade to R2017a, this functionality can now be achieved through the 'SamplePoints' name-value pair in the moving statistics. For your example, you would do something like movmean(y, 2*radius, 'SamplePoints', x); (though you'd need to sort your x values first).

pdist() to get all of the distances simultaneously. Compare to the radius. Store the resulting mask. Multiply the mask by repmat() of the y value, and sum along a dimension. sum the mask along the same dimension and divide the value sum by that count. Result should be the moving average.

I wonder if looping pdist2() would be efficient? Eh, it probably just adds unnecessary overhead to a simple Euclidean calculation.
