[R] Substitution in expressions

[peter dalgaard]

Er, I'm confused.

You post some code, the code does something. In which sense is this not what you want?

This is slightly more direct:

> mapply(function(x,y) as.expression(bquote(.(x)^.(y))), base, expo)
expression(1L^2, 2L^2, 3L^3, 4L^3, 5L^4)

but I sense that you are looking for something else?
