I have a 10x6x5 matrix, I want to convert it into 6x50 matrix. How to do this?

I want to keep second dimension(6 elements) data in the each column vector of the new 2d matrix and there would be 50 (10*5) such columns.

A = rand(10,6,5) ;

C = permute(A,[1 3 2]);
C = reshape(C,[],size(A,2),1) ;

Thank you a lot. It serves my purpose.

Either this:

A = your 10x6x5 array
result = reshape(permute(A,[2 1 3]),size(A,2),[]);

Or this:

A = your 10x6x5 array
result = reshape(permute(A,[2 3 1]),size(A,2),[]);

Depending on how you want the column data ordered.

Thank you a lot. It was helpful.

If you have a matrix A of size 10x6x5 you can convert it to a matrix of dimensions 6x50 by using

reshape(A,[6,50])

For Information regarding how the elements will be arranged in this matrix, please refer to the documentation and scroll down to "Reshaping Multidimensional Arrays"
