Determine averages for duplicate values

Hi,

I have a cell array (11708 x 1) called "merged" where each value is the station name and the channel. I also have the residual for each entry in this cell array also as a cell array (11708 x 1). I want to determine the average residual for each station i.e. find duplicate entries and average associated values.

Example "merged" cell array entry: SUE HHE (i.e. its text) Example "res" cell array entry: 1.4224

If anyone could provide some help for this it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

use a table and then varfun with grouping variable as your station name,

 T = cell2table(C,'v',{'stationName','channelName',residual'});
 T1 = varfun(@mean,T,'GroupingVariables','stationName');
