I have a bunch of data in datetime format similar to this:

2010-Nov-30 18:00.00 0 8.7 17.05 61.38

I have summed all the data into hours, but I would like to calculate the average at every hour 00:00, 01:00, 02:00... 23:00 for every day in the year.

I have data for a whole year, so I'm interested in seeing the average values in a day, per hour, with the data from the whole year.

I've tried to use retime but I can't really get it to function correctly. Maybe it's the wrong function for this purpose.

I can't get it to group all the hours from the whole year into on matrix that's 24-by-x with the mean from every hour.

Do you have a hint? :)

Could you show us what you tried and describe the input variables used? It will be easier to help you tweek that instead of creating a different example out of our imaginations that may not even be suitable with your data.

IIUC, retime is not the tool for this; it bins data into desired time segments such as hourly but averages within those bins.

To compute an average of all observations in the dataset at each exact hour, use a grouping variable and varfun or groupsummary or grpsummary (latter requires Statistics Toolbox and has essentially been replaced by former in base MATLAB).

You will have to group by sufficiently-fine resolution to isolate the one actual top-oif-the-hour reading by hours(), minutes(), seconds(), ... depending upon the time-of-day readings in the dataset.

I may have misinterpretted the question.

If the goal is to compute the hourly avg across some time frame, let's say a year, so that there are 8760 mean values, one for each hour of the year, then you can use

% Create timetable
TT = timetable(datetime(2019,6,20)+minutes(linspace(0,525600,50000)'), rand(50000,1), 'VariableNames',{'Data'}); 
% Hourly avg
TT_hourly = retime(TT,'hourly', 'mean');

If the goal is to compute the average by hour-of-day combining all days, so that you have 24 mean values across the entire year,

% Create timetable
TT = timetable(datetime(2019,6,20)+minutes(linspace(0,525600,50000)'), rand(50000,1), 'VariableNames',{'Data'}); 
% Identify the hour of each datetime value. This shifts all datetime
% values to the *start* of the hour.  
hourNumber = hour(dateshift(TT.Time,'Start','Hour'));
% If you have the Stats & ML toolbox,
hourlyMeans = grpstats(TT.Data,hourNumber); 
T = table(unique(hourNumber), hourlyMeans, 'VariableNames', {'Hour', 'Mean_Data'})
% Same thing without S&ML toolbox
[hourIdx, hourGroups] = findgroups(hourNumber);
hourlyMeans = splitapply(@mean, TT.Data, hourIdx);
T = table(hourGroups, hourlyMeans, 'VariableNames', {'Hour', 'Mean_Data'})
% Result
%     T =
%       24×2 table
%         Hour    Mean_Data

Thanks for the inputs!

I have tried to use varfun and GroupingVariables and here is a snippet of my output. I was expecting column 2 to consist of about 300 in each from 00:00:00 to 23:00:00 and calculated the mean of all the values that has, as an example, 13:00:00.

A=varfun(@mean,TT,'GroupingVariables', 'Time')

TT is a timetable that basicly looks the same as what's beneath here, but without the column of 1s.

A=

'07:00:00'	1	0	0	10.53	35.6866666666667

and about 80000 more rows similar to this.

So, my goal is to only have 24 rows, each consisting of the time and the the mean of the variables.

Hope it clears it up, and again, thanks for the input!

Ohhh I see! Thanks for pointing that out!

My solution is now simply to set the date to 0 when I'm making my datetime.

t = datetime(0,0,0,dataAR(:,4),dataAR(:,5),dataAR(:,6),'Format','HH:mm:ss');

This seems to do the job!

Thanks alot for the explanation!

Have a good evening (depending on your timezone) :)

The better solution is probably to just use hour() of the real datetime -- that will return a double from 0-23 for each.

Since you have only the one hourly observation, you won't need the retime step.

A very simple way to solve this if you have whole days starting at 00:00 is to use reshape. Its a bit old school but I like it! However I have come onto this page to solve this problem for data which doesn't start at 00:00 (not my choice!)

NHours=size(VarA,1);
NDays=NHours/24;
VarA_AH=nanmean(reshape(VarA,[24,NDays]),2);
