[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42764] squareform in statistics package returns column vector, Matlab returns row vector

[JD Walsh]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #42764 (project octave):

Sorry about that! Just before patching, I reverted the code to what I
*thought* was an earlier version (after testing on MatLab showed that
`squareform' should accept both row and column vectors as arguments). I should
have retested to make sure all was well.

I ran multiple tests, and ended up rewriting two argument checking lines to
use built-in Octave routines (`isnumeric' and `issymmetric'). The rewritten
lines should run faster and be easier to maintain. I've attached a new patch
`squareform2' with these changes.
