Hello, I am hoping someone can help me determine the n x k matrix X when the k x k matrix X'X is given using Matlab. Please share any coding tips! Many thanks!!

Thank you! I was working on a problem set where we were provided with X'X, and my first instinct was to try to derive X. As you point out this isn't possible with the information given (instead we used the info in X'X). Thanks again for your help!

n=2;
k=3;
X=rand(n,k); % make sample matrix X
Xn=X'*X
Is it right what you want?
