Marking as confirmed, and changing the category to "Matlab Compatibility".  I'm lowering the priority since there are easy workarounds.

You can't use linear indexing, because it will convert matrices to vectors, but you can use flip.

A suitable replacement is


r = flip (cumsum (flip (dat)))


If you are working on a specific dimension which is not the first singleton dimension then you have to give that dimension as an argument to both flip and cumsum (which you would have to do anyways).


r = flip (cumsum (flip (dat, dim), dim), dim)

Workaround:


r = cumsum(dat(end:-1:1))(end:-1:1)


Unfortunately cumsum is not a .m-file, otherwise this option could be very easily added. Of course, it would be more efficient to do this natively.

Matlab allows to pass the option 'reverse' to the cumsum function with the effect of the cumulative sum being summed with direction from back (end) to front:


r = cumsum(dat,'reverse')
