Name

vec2col — vector into column vector

CALLING SEQUENCE

[x]=vec2col(x)

PARAMETERS

Input

• x = (1 x n) or (n x 1) vector

Output

• x = (n x 1) vector

DESCRIPTION

Transforms a row or col vector into a col vector.

EXAMPLE


1) vec2col([3:7])

2) vec2col([3:7]')

3) grocer_init=vec2col(grocer_init)

 

Examples 1 and 2 give the matrix: 

!   3. !

!   4. !

!   5. !

!   6. !

!   7. !

Example 3, taken from nls, transforms into a column vector the vector of starting values for the optimisation algorithm. This allows the user to give either a column or a row vector and therefore facilitates her life.
