Why would you assert that the mean is the same as the intercept? For data clustered far from the y axis this seems clearly unlikely to be true. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... ..... Go Live...

And some parameters of group2(t value,Pr) are the same as t.test,since group2 is the difference of the 2 groups. My question is: How the "t value" of Intercept(group1 acturally) is calculated? Thanks a lot.
