Bhargab gave us
x<-c(23,67,2,87,9,63,8,2,35,6,91,41,22,3)
and said: "I want to have a matrix with p columns such that each
column will have the elements of x^(column#)."
so, I think Charlotte's code was spot-on:
p <- 3
outer(x, 1:p, '^')
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 23 529 12167
[2,] 67 4489 300763
[3,] 2 4 8
[4,] 87 7569 658503
[5,] 9 81 729
[6,] 63 3969 250047
[7,] 8 64 512
[8,] 2 4 8
[9,] 35 1225 42875
[10,] 6 36 216
[11,] 91 8281 753571
[12,] 41 1681 68921
[13,] 22 484 10648
[14,] 3 9 27
Here's another way -- a bit less elegant, but a gentle
introduction to thinking in vectors rather than elements:
mat <- matrix(0,nrow=length(x), ncol=p)
for(i in 1:p) mat[,i] <- x^i
mat
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 23 529 12167
[2,] 67 4489 300763
[3,] 2 4 8
[4,] 87 7569 658503
[5,] 9 81 729
[6,] 63 3969 250047
[7,] 8 64 512
[8,] 2 4 8
[9,] 35 1225 42875
[10,] 6 36 216
[11,] 91 8281 753571
[12,] 41 1681 68921
[13,] 22 484 10648
[14,] 3 9 27
