How to do the following nested for loop?
if there is a vector P = [1 1 1 1 1 1]
and I want to change P in each loop as the following:
first outer loop
inner loop:
first it:
P = [0.1 1 1 1 1 1]
2nd it:
P = [0.2 1 1 1 1 1]
3rd
P = [0.3 1 1 1 1 1]
and so on until reach 0.9
2nd outer loop
P = [1 0.1 1 1 1 1]
2nd it:
P = [1 0.2 1 1 1 1]
3rd
P = [1 0.3 1 1 1 1]
and so on until reach 0.9
3nd outer loop
change the 3rd index as the above.. until reach the 6th outer loop

for jj = 1:9
fprintf('inner loop iteration %d\n',jj);
P(ii) = jj/10;

Must you do this with a nested loop?
Example
P0 = [(0.1:0.1:0.9)',ones(9,5)];
P1 = P0;
for i = 1:5
P1 = [P1;circshift(P0,i,2)];
end

After you produced P1, at each iteration of your code you can just call the next row of the array P1
