How to select the maximum value for each row in cell type variable in matlab?

I have a cell type variable(Final) with dimension 279*100. I want to create a new matrix of 279*1 dimension such that i can have only the maximum value of each row in the new matrix. Can anyone please help me do this?

Thank You

Some rows of the cell Final contain only empty elements. What do you want to be the output in this case? If NaN is sufficient:

nRow     = size(Final, 1);
FinalMax = nan(nRow, 1);
for k = 1:nRow
    row = [Final{k, :}];
    if ~isempty(row)
       FinalMax(k) = max(row);
    end
end

thank you so much. can i just replace the NaN with 0 so that it won't give any error in further mathematical calculations?

Of course. Simply change "FinalMax = nan(nRow, 1);" to "FinalMax = zeros(nRow, 1);
