cosmo squareform skl

function s=cosmo_squareform(x, varargin)
% converts pair-wise distances between matrix and vector form
%
% s=cosmo_squareform(x[, direction])
%
% Inputs:
%    x           One of:
%                - NxN distance matrix; x must be symmetric and have zeros
%                  on the diagonal
%                - 1xM distance vector
%    direction   Optional. If provided it must be 'tovector' (if x is a
%                matrix) or 'tomatrix' (if x is a vector). If not provided
%                it is set to 'tovector' if x is a matrix and to 'tomatrix'
%                if x is a vector
%
% Returns:
%    s           One of:
%                - NxN distance matrix, if direction=='tomatrix'
%                - 1xM distance vector, if direction=='tovector'
%                it must hold that N*(N-1)/2=M
%
% Notes:
%  - this function provides the same functionality as the built-in function
%    ''squareform'' in the matlab stats toolbox.
