Hello Serguei, Is this what you need?
myfunc <- function(x) { create <- function(idx) { rep.int(c(rep.int(0,2^(idx-1)), rep.int(1,2^(idx-1))), 2^x/2^idx) } sapply(rev(seq(x)), create) } > myfunc(3) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 0 0 0 [2,] 0 0 1 [3,] 0 1 0 [4,] 0 1 1 [5,] 1 0 0 [6,] 1 0 1 [7,] 1 1 0 [8,] 1 1 1 For numerical values only, this is faster than expand.grid(). Alternatively (for multiple values in separate varaibles), you could use the function createMatrix() in package QCA.
