create a code that performs a moving average smoothing of data from a text file in matlab

Here is an example code that reads a column of data from a text file and performs a moving average smoothing.

main.m
% Set up file name
filename = 'data.txt';

% Read data from file
data = dlmread(filename);

% Set up smoothing window size
window_size = 5;

% Perform smoothing
smoothed_data = movmean(data, window_size);

% Plot original and smoothed data
plot(data, 'b', 'LineWidth', 1);
hold on;
plot(smoothed_data, 'r', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Signal');
title('Moving Average Smoothing');
legend('Original Data', 'Smoothed Data');
hold off;
454 chars
23 lines

Note that the function movmean is used to calculate the smoothed values with the specified window size. The resulting smoothed data is then plotted against the original data. You can adjust the window size to change the amount of smoothing applied to the data.
