R 2.5.1 on WinXP
I'm trying to create new variables in a dataframe called jaw, as powers
of jaw$age up to the sixth power, and name them
jaw$age.(--the digit corresponding to the power--)
Obviously none of these work (silly for me to try, I suppose):
for (i in 2:6) {
jaw$age.'i' <- jaw$age^i
}
for (i in 2:6) {
jaw$age.i <- jaw$age^i
}
for (i in 2:6) {
jaw$age."i" <- jaw$age^i
}
What is the proper syntax to create and name these variables all at once?
Thanks.
