How to code difference quotients in matlab?

I have a vector U and I want to take its difference quotient at a time instance j i.e. I want to find dU as shown below. How can it be done?
Thank you guys in advance!

elementwise differences of consecutive elements can be calculated using diff() command

I tried but actually I need ratio of variance of these difference quotients. that is returning NaN values at some points.
U = randi(9, 1, 10)
U = 1×10
2 2 5 8 2 7 8 9 5 1
% Compute difference
du = diff(U)
du = 1×9
0 3 3 -6 5 1 1 -4 -4
% Compute variance
varU = var(du)
varU = 14.1111
Not sure what you mean by ratio. A ratio is a fraction of something divided by something. What are you ratioing? The ratio of a single number -- the variance -- doesn't make sense.
