Basically you run you each iteration of your code inside try() and then test to
see if it's class vector includes "try-error", ... then you can do something
with the result or return NA. This may makeit more useful because I return the
results at each iteration if there was no error:
sapply(test, function(x) if( "try-error" %in% class(try( Z <-
exp(test[test[x:1]] ) ) ) ){NA}else{Z} )
