[R] Quiz: Who finds the nicest form of X_1^\prime?

[Marius Hofert]

Dear Peter, Dear David,

this is also what I tried: plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X)[1]^minute)) [as suggested by Peter]. The problem is that the prime seems so small/short when used with "^". Is there a way to get a thicker/larger prime?

Cheers,

Marius
