I've got a list of 5 matrices that are each 5 x 6. I'd like to end
up with a
5 x 6 matrix that contains the mean value of the 5 original
matrices. I can
do this by brute force, but there must be a better way than making
each
matrix into a vector and then remaking a matrix
thanks very much for any help
