What have you tried exactly? And with which version? This should work with all R versions that I am familiar with, e.g.: R> A <- matrix(c(2,2,3,4),2,2) R> A [,1] [,2] [1,] 2 3 [2,] 2 4 R> B <- exp(A) R> B [,1] [,2] [1,] 7.389056 20.08554 [2,] 7.389056 54.59815 Cheers, Berwin ========================== Full address ============================ Berwin A Turlach Tel.: +61 (8) 6488 3338 (secr) School of Maths and Stats (M019) +61 (8) 6488 3383 (self) The University of Western Australia FAX : +61 (8) 6488 1028 35 Stirling Highway Crawley WA 6009 e-mail: ber...@maths.uwa.edu.au Australia http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/~berwin ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
