Hi. Suppose I have a (m*n) matrix A e.g.
A=[8.9505 4.8075 1.6187 0.0020
8.9755 4.7575 1.6187 0.0020
8.9755 4.7825 1.6187 0.0020
8.9755 4.8075 1.6187 0.0020
8.9755 4.8325 1.6187 0.0020
8.9755 4.8575 1.6187 0.0020
9.0005 4.7325 1.6187 0.0020
9.0005 4.7575 1.6187 0.0020
9.0005 4.7825 1.6187 0.0020
9.0005 4.8075 1.6187 0.0020
9.0005 4.8325 1.6187 0.0020
9.0005 4.8575 1.6187 0.0020
9.0255 4.7325 1.6187 0.0020
9.0255 4.7575 1.6187 0.0020
9.0255 4.7825 1.6187 0.0020
9.0255 4.8075 1.6187 0.0020
9.0255 4.8325 1.6187 0.0020
9.0255 4.8575 1.6187 0.0020
9.0505 4.7325 1.6187 0.0020
9.0505 4.7575 1.6187 0.0020
9.0505 4.7825 1.6187 0.0020
9.0505 4.8075 1.6187 0.0020
9.0505 4.8325 1.6187 0.0020
9.0755 4.7575 1.6187 0.0020
9.1255 4.6075 1.6187 0.0020
9.1505 4.5825 1.6187 0.0020
9.1505 4.6075 1.6187 0.0020
9.1755 4.5825 1.6187 0.0020
9.2005 4.5575 1.6187 0.0020];
Imagine that the first column is X coordinates and second column is Y coordinates of some points.
In the matrix A, the first column values varied form minimum value 8.9505 to maximum value 9.2005, and the second column values varied form minimum value 4.5575 to maximum value 4.8575
The middle point of column 1 is :
(8.9505 + 9.2005)/2 = 9.0755
and the middle point of column 2 is:
(4.5575 + 4.8575)/2 = 4.7075
I want to find which one of the rows of matrix A has the nearest values to these values in its first and second columns respectively. Thanks

Perhaps - a bold guess:
meanValue = (min(A(:, 1:2)) + max(A(:, 1:2))) / 2;
dist = sum((A(:, 1:2) - meanValue).^2, 2); % >= 2016b: Auto-Expand
% With older Matlab versions:
% dist = sum(bsxfun(@minus, A(:, 1:2), meanValue).^2, 2)
[minDist, minIndex] = min(dist)
midA = A(minIndex, :)
For your example:
% The center between the minimal and maximal points:
meanValue = [9.0755, 4.7075]
% (Squared) Euclidean distances of A(:, 1:2) to this point:
d = sum((A(:, 1:2) - meanValue).^2, 2)
% Minimal distance:
[minDist, minIndex] = min(d);
minIndex = 19
% Or do you want multiple outputs, if the minimal distance occurs
% multiple times?
??? minDist = min(d);
??? minIndex = find(d == minDist);
But perhaps you look for something else. Unfortunately you do not provide a mathematical definition of what you want, although you have been asked repeatedly.

The Euclidean distance is:
sqrt(sum(x.^2))
Then you need sqrt(minDist) to get the distance.

Try mean() or median():
columnMedians = median(A, 1)
columnMeans = mean(A, 1)
depending on what "middlemost" means to you.
