Hi there, That's exactly what I want.
I have checked ?combn out, but I could get the following, suppose that I want ALL possible combinations of them, as this ================================== apply( combn(paste('x', 1:4, sep =""), 2), 2, function(v) get(v[1])*get(v[2]) ), apply( combn(paste('x', 1:4, sep =""), 3), 2, function(v) get(v[1])*get(v[2])*get(v[3]) ), apply( combn(paste('x', 1:4, sep =""), 4), 2, function(v) get(v[1])*get(v[2])*get(v[3])*get(v[4]) ) ) ================================== combn(paste('x', 1:4, sep =""), 2) lists all the '2' factor combinations, combn(paste('x', 1:4, sep =""),3) lists all the '3' factor combinations, ect, I have tried to use combn(paste('x', 1:4, sep =""), c(2,3,4)) to get all possible combinations, but didnt work how should I proceed?
