Hello,
I have a 10x4600 matrix and I would like to sum all the content in 50 column groups, i.e., sum all of the contents in cols 1-50 then 51-100 etc., greating a 1x92 matrix.
What is the best way to do this?
Any advice is much appreciated

Here's another option:
a = rand(10,4600);
b = mat2cell(a,height(a),repmat(50,1,width(a)/50));
result = cellfun(@(x) sum(x,'all'),b)
result = 1×92

Example
M = rand(10,4600);
n = 50;
for idx = 1:size(M,2)/n
S(idx) = sum(M(:,n*(idx-1)+1:n*idx),'all');
end
size(S)
ans = 1×2
1 92
S
S = 1×92
