Concatenate arrays with different sizes in Matlab

This function allows you to concatenate arrays with different sizes padding with NaN where needed.

[catmat]=padconcatenation(a,b,c)
concatenates arrays with different sizes and pads with NaN.
a and b are two arrays (one or two-dimensional) to be concatenated, c must be 1 for
vertical concatenation ([a;b]) and 2 for horizontal concatenation ([a b])

a=rand(3,4)
b=rand(5,2)
