MATLAB: Split a larger matrix into smaller matrices

Question

Hello All,

I have a [256 x 5 x 2000] matrix. I want to split this matrix into 5 [256 x 1 x 2000] matrices. Tried using mat2cell but it returns an error stating number of dimensions must match.

Could anyone please help me with this?

Thanks, \Kashif

Answer 1

The dimensions have to add to the same values in each dimension with mat2cell.

This works:

M = randi(9, 256, 5, 2000);                                         % Create Matrix
C = mat2cell(M, 256, ones(1,5), 2000);                              % Split To Cells
