If you want complex roots, there is a post by Ravi Varadhan from
2010, a reprint of which I found quickly by a google search at

[1] NaN
It appears that you get the positive real root.

Dear R users,
I wonder if R has a default function that I can use to do extraction of
roots.
Here is an example:
X N
2.5 5
3.4 7
8.9 9
6.4 1
2.1 0
1.1 2
I want to calculate Y = root(X)^N, where N repre
3 matches
