Breaking x-axis into bins and extracting max value corresponding y-axis

Hello,

I am working with force curves, and I am analyzing these curves as force over a percentage of time (i.e., 0-100%). I have two questions:

1) How do I break my x-axis into 10 equal bins 0-10%, 10%-20%, 20-30%, etc.

2) How do I find a single value on the Y-axis (i.e., max) for each bin (see photo)?

Thanks,

Michael

To find the max in each 10%, assuming that your signal vector Y is a multiple of 10 long

numberOfElements = length(Y);
reshapedY = reshape(Y, [10, numberOfElements /10]);
maxInEachTenth = max(reshapedY, [], 1);
