Hi!,

Haveyouthoughtinthe"toeplitz"command?
E.g.

x=

12345

>>toeplitz(x)

ans=

12345
21234
32123
43212
54321

Althoughtoeplitzdoescreateasymmetricmatrix,it'snotusablewhentheentireupperorlowerportionofthematrixisdifferent.

TheOPwantedtobeabletomanuallyenteronesideandhaveit"symmetricize"itautomatically.Likethis:

A=[123045002]%uppertriangular

'B=symmetricize(A)'
B=[123245352]

Becareful.IfthediagonalofAcontainsnonfinitevalues,theywillbe
changedbythisoperation.CompareBandC:

A=magic(3)
A([1,5,9])=[Inf,Inf,NaN]
B=A+A'diag(diag(A))
C=triu(A,0)+triu(A,1).'

IfyouhaveStatisticsToolbox,theSQUAREFORMfunctionmayalsobeof
