JLAB is a set of Matlab functions I have written or co-written over the past fifteen years for the p

function[z]=odot(x,y)
%   ODOT  "Outer" dot product of two column vectors.  
%        ODOT(X,Y) <==> CDOT( X*(1+0*Y'), (1+0*X)*Y')

%   See also OSUM, OPROD

if ~(iscol(x) || isscalar(x)) || ~(iscol(y) || isscalar(y))
  error('X and Y must both be column vectors or scalars.')
else
  z=cdot(x*(1+0*y'),(1+0*x)*y');
