How would I transform a 5-dimensional vector into a 3-dimensional vector? An example would be very helpful, but I really do not know how to do this.

How you would do it depends on how you want it to work.
For instance, if your 5-dimensional matrix contains two singleton (i.e., of size 1) dimensions that you want to remove, you could use squeeze():
X = randn(5,1,3,1,2);
Y = squeeze(X);
disp(X);
(:,:,1,1,1) = -0.3821 -0.9261 0.0377 -0.3751 0.6377 (:,:,2,1,1) = -0.8345 -0.1924 -0.7902 0.0368 -0.3870 (:,:,3,1,1) = -0.8840 1.3846 -0.6376 0.6339 0.8134 (:,:,1,1,2) = -0.9523 -0.5598 1.0810 0.7166 1.1387 (:,:,2,1,2) = 0.7773 0.3358 -0.5979 1.3993 -0.5095 (:,:,3,1,2) = -0.4363 -0.3040 -0.1557 -1.0283 1.5534
disp(Y);
(:,:,1) = -0.3821 -0.8345 -0.8840 -0.9261 -0.1924 1.3846 0.0377 -0.7902 -0.6376 -0.3751 0.0368 0.6339 0.6377 -0.3870 0.8134 (:,:,2) = -0.9523 0.7773 -0.4363 -0.5598 0.3358 -0.3040 1.0810 -0.5979 -0.1557 0.7166 1.3993 -1.0283 1.1387 -0.5095 1.5534
Or you could use reshape() in that same situation:
Y = reshape(X,[5 3 2]);
disp(Y);
(:,:,1) = -0.3821 -0.8345 -0.8840 -0.9261 -0.1924 1.3846 0.0377 -0.7902 -0.6376 -0.3751 0.0368 0.6339 0.6377 -0.3870 0.8134 (:,:,2) = -0.9523 0.7773 -0.4363 -0.5598 0.3358 -0.3040 1.0810 -0.5979 -0.1557 0.7166 1.3993 -1.0283 1.1387 -0.5095 1.5534
Or even if there are no singleton dimensions, you could use reshape(), but you have to specify how you want this reshaping done:
X = randn(5,2,3,4,2);
disp(X);
