For Loop that loops n times for moving average

Hello,

How can I write a for loop that loops 4 times and is a moving average where it creates a new variable called MovingMean5 where the 1st element is the average of the elements 1 to 5 from the dataname variable. Then the 2nd element of MovingMean5 is the mean of the dataname variable from elements 2 to 6. Then the 3rd element of MovingMean5 is the mean of the dataname variable from elements 3 to 7. Then the 3rd element of MovingMean5 is the mean of the dataname variable from elements 4 to 8.

I have no idea what to write for the script. This is what I have so far, but it isn't working:

for i = 1:5

MovingMean5(i) = mean(dataname(1:i+5));

end

please help

Perhaps just use the movmean command instead?
