How do you get from x, y, and z to this matrix? If x(k) and y(k) are the
indices of the element whose value is z(k) then this should result in a
diagonal matrix NOT an off-diagonal. If instead you flipped x then we'd
receive the z you requested.
x= [5 4 3 2 1].';
y= [1 2 3 4 5].';
z= [8 4 9 7 3].';
accumarray([x, y], z)
Alternately, if your matrix is going to be sparsely populated (only a small
percentage of the elements will be nonzero) then look at the help for SPARSE
and use it instead of ACCUMARRAY or use ACCUMARRAY with the ISSPARSE input
set to true.
