<p>
The outer product operator, <CODE>><</CODE>, operates on two
vectors and produces a matrix composed of all possible combinations of products of elements
of the vectors.</p>
<p>
If vector <CODE>X</CODE> has M elements and vector <CODE>Y</CODE> has N elements, then
<CODE>X><Y</CODE> is a matrix with M rows and N columns, where
<code>(X><Y)[i,j] = X[i]*Y[j]</code> for <code>i = 1,2,...,M</code> and
<code>j = 1,2,...,N</code>.</P>
<P><font size="+1" color="green">Example:</font></p>
<p>
Suppose you have two vectors <CODE>X = [1;3;5]</CODE> and <CODE>Y = [2;4]</CODE>, then</p>
