Dear Contributors I have a problem with the collection of data from the results of a test. I need to perform a comparative test over groups of data , recall the value of the pvalue and create a table. My problem is in the way to replicate the analysis over and over again over subsets of data according to a condition. I have this database, called y: gg t1 t2 d 40 1 1 2 50 2 2 1 45 1 3 1 49 2 1 1 5 2 1 3 40 1 1 2
where gg takes values from 1 to 100, t1 and t2 have values in (1,2,3) and d in (0,1,2,3) I want to perform tests on the values of gg according to the conditions that d==0 , compare values of gg when t1==1 with values of gg when t1==3 d==1 , compare values of gg when t1==1 with values of gg when t1==3 d==2 , compare values of gg when t1==1 with values of gg when t1==3 .. then d==0 , compare values of gg when t2==1 with values of gg when t2==3 d==1... then collect the data of a statistics and create a table. The procedure i followed is to create sub datasets called m0,m1,m2,m3 corresponding to the values of d, i.e. m0<- y[y$d==0,c(7,17,18,19)] m1<- y[y$d==1,c(7,17,18,19)] m2<- y[y$d==2,c(7,17,18,19)] m3<- y[y$d==3,c(7,17,18,19)] then perform the test as follows: x1<-wilcox.test(m0[m0$t1==1,1],m0[m0$t1==3,1],correct=FALSE, exact=FALSE, conf.int=TRUE,alternative = c("g")) #ABC ID x2<- wilcox.test(m1[m1$t1==1,1],m1[m1$t1==3,1],correct=FALSE, exact=FALSE, conf.int=TRUE,alternative = c("g")) x3<- wilcox.test(m2[m2$t1==1,1],m2[m2$t1==3,1],correct=FALSE, exact=FALSE, conf.int=TRUE,alternative = c("g")) x4<- wilcox.test(m3[m3$t1==1,1],m3[m3$t1==3,1],correct=FALSE, exact=FALSE, conf.int=TRUE,alternative = c("g")) each of these tests will create an object, say x and then I extract the value statistics using x$statistics. How to automatize this? Thank you for any help you can provide.
