I have a data array containing two columns:
Damage value - corresponding to how much damage occurs at that data point
# cycles - how many cycles occur during the data point
I would like to sum the # of cycles for a given set of bins/edges (not always equally spaced). In Excel this would be a very simple SumIF, albeit across a number of cells to populate a table. I can write the same logic in Matlab, but it requires a loop to check each bin/edge set. Is there an elegant single-line solution, similar to histcounts, that will allow me to pass a series of bins/edges and sum the cells that meet that criteria?
In the attached image, the example input data is on the left and the output data I desire is on the right with the thick border around the cells.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

See the groupsummary function. The "Specify Group Bins" example on its documentation page looks very similar to what you want to do.
