I have a matrix that is 17x6 and for one task i need to find • The location with the highest average ice thickness • The maximum overall ice thickness measurement with the associated location and day

I'm confused on how to do this. more so on how to get the index the day and location. But the location name is on a 1x6 and we have to index the name and also the Days is on a 17x1. use the data and scrool down to the bottom to get an idea of how it should look

I am assuming here that the rows of the “Ice” matrix correspond to the “Days” and the columns correspond to the “LocationID” . You may use the following code to extract the required values.

clear; 
load('MA2_data (2).mat');
[~, maxAvgIceLocation] = max(mean(Ice(:)));
maxIce = max(Ice(:));
[maxRow, maxCol] = find(ismember(Ice, maxIce));
maxDay = Days(maxRow);
maxLocation = LocationID(maxCol);

Here the variable “maxAvgIceLocation” correspond to the location of the highest average ice thickness. “maxIce”, “maxDay”and “maxLocation” gives the maximum overall ice thickness with the associated day and location respectively.
