I want to find the average of each pairs. ie. avg of 2 &4, avg of NaN and 5. Answer should be 3 and 5. For the second pair, code should eliminate NaN, so avg should be 5. That's where I have the problem. Following is the code I wrote. Thanks.
A=[2 4 NaN 5];
j=1;
for i=1:2:4
B=A(i:i+1);
C=~isnan(B);
test(j)=mean(A(C));
i=i+1;
j=j+1;
end

Hi Thishan,
On newer versions of Matlab, use
test(j)=mean(A(C),'omitnan');
If you have an older version of Matlab and you have the Statistics Toolbox, use
test(j)=nanmean(A(C));
Alternatively, if neither of those options work for you,
tmp = A(C);
test(j)= = mean(tmp(isfinite(tmp)));

Sure it makes sense. You can move along the vector an element at a time taking the means of pairs, no matter whether there are an odd or even number of elements. Just look:
m = [1,2,3,4,5]
pairMeans = conv(m, [.5,.5], 'valid')
m =
1 2 3 4 5
pairMeans =
1.5 2.5 3.5 4.5
(Note the above does not handle nans in the desired way).

However, the user's for loop increments by 2, so that is not the pairs they meant. They also indicated they expected exactly 2 results, not 3.

This will work for any length of A, even odd numbers:
A=[2 4 NaN 5 6 8 9]; % 7 elements.
kernel = [1,1];
sumA = conv(A, kernel, 'same')
nonNaNA = ~isnan(A)
denom = conv(nonNaNA, kernel, 'same')
output = sumA ./ denom
output(isnan(output)) = [] % Remove nans.
