problem with Gauss Hermite ( x and w )
Are you getting caught on order of operations? Note that unary minus has lower precedence than exponentiation (as it does in math) so -2.5^(-2.4) is x <- 2.5^(-2.4) -x Otherwise, I'm not at all sure what your question is: can you give an example of what you think you should get (and how to get it) and what R is giving you instead?

Hi, ?I know what complex number are, but I am not sure what you meant by that? ##############CODES###########
2.5^(-2.4)
[1] 0.1109032
-2.5^(-2.4)
[1] -0.1109032 ##############CODES########### works fine. Negative powers mean they take the reciprocal and as far as I am concerned, real^real is just a real number. Am I mistaking something basic? Thanks.
