Charlotte: I ran your code because I wasn't clear on it and your way
would cause more matrices than the person requested. So
I think the code below it, although not too short, does what the person
asked. Thanks though because I understand outer better now.
temp <- matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6),ncol=2)
print(temp)
#One of those more elegant ways:
print(temp)
outer(temp,1:p,'^')One of those more elegant ways:
# THIS WAY I THINK GIVES WHAT THEY WANT
sapply(1:ncol(temp), function(.col) {
temp[,.col]^.col
})

Well, mat doesn't have any dimensions / isn't a matrix, and we don't
know what p is supposed to be. But leaving aside those little
details,
do you perhaps want something like this:
x<-c(23,67,2,87,9,63,8,2,35,6,91,41,22,3)
p <- 5
mat<- matrix(0, nrow=p, ncol=length(x))
for(j in 1:length(x))
{
for(i in 1:p)
mat[i,j]<-x[j]^i
}
Two notes: I didn't try it out, and if that's what you want rather
than a toy example
of a larger problem, there are more elegant ways to do it in R.

Hi,
Can any one please explain why the following code doesn't work? Or
can anyone suggest an alternative.
Suppose
x<-c(23,67,2,87,9,63,8,2,35,6,91,41,22,3)
mat<-0;
for(j in 1:length(x))
{
for(i in 1:p)
mat[i,j]<-x[j]^i;
}
Actually I want to have a matrix with p columns such that each
column will have the elements of x^(column#).
Thanks in advance.
