I am lost, I checked the R mailing help, but could not find anything
directly. I loaded package Brobdingnag and tried:
as.brob(x^B)
[1] NAexp(NaN) NAexp(NaN) NAexp(NaN) NAexp(NaN) NAexp(NaN)
> as.brob(x)^B
[1] NAexp(187.67) NAexp(187.65) NAexp(187.63) NAexp(187.61)
I guess I must be misunderstanding something fundamental.
Any clues would be really appreciated.
