Group data in bins

I have a file with data numbers. I would like to group them , let's say in "bins", by a specific step (eg minimum value is 0, maximum is 20. So I would like to make bins by 0.5 step and make groups with these values).
I think this:
% Define the bin edges you want
EDGES = 0:0.5:20;
% Bin the data according to the predefined edges:
Y = histcounts(x, EDGES);
But the point is that I would like to take the y values that correspont to these bins.
Could you help me please?

ok, I have one input file with data (x,y). I want to group my data as I mentioned above (I did this). I would like to have the y values that correspond to each bin.
How could I do this?

If you provide a small set of input data, and show the desired output, members should be able to help you better.

The first output of histcounts is the count of items in each bin.
You could use this syntax to at least determine which bin each X value was assigned to. You could probably use that to then group the y values, too.
You might want to look into the findgroups function.

Hope this is close to what you are looking for.

If you just need to know in which bin each element falls, use discretize.
E = 0:11;
x = 10*rand(20, 1);
bin = discretize(x, E);
result = table(x, bin)
result = 20x2 table
x bin _______ ___ 4.2765 5 9.6732 10 9.5604 10 3.2379 4 8.338 9 8.4339 9 7.7412 8 2.1064 3 0.67424 1 0.50379 1 2.7735 3 3.0882 4 5.5501 6 9.5552 10 3.2904 4 1.7843 2
If your data could take on the values 9 and 10 and your edges vector was 0:10 the last bin would contain both those elements with value 9 and those with value 10. The last bin contains both its left edge and its right edge, while the other bins contain their left but not their right. That why the edges vector goes to 11.

I want to know exactly which numbers are in each bin so that I can do statistical calculations (for example mean and standard deviations for each class) that I want.
Do you know how?

In that case, i would look into grpstats or groupsummary. You might also be interested in using findgroups in conjunction with splitapply.
