Fast sampling every other element in a matrix

4 views (last 30 days)
I have a matrix M. I want to delete every other column and every other row. However, I already know how to do this as:
M = rand(100,11);
M2=M;
M2(:,2:2:end)=[];
M2(2:2:end,:)=[];
I will have to do this operation on large matrices many times in a loop, thus I am wondering if matlab has a built-in function to do this faster. Thanks.

M2 = M(1:2:end,1:2:end);
