Hi Josh, Petr

I checked that testStatistics is a function but it is not defined in the
code anywhere else. But if I am able to remove it and give the input by my
own to the function which calls testStatistics, it might work.

The hurdle here for me is that the input is a set* of values and each value
has 2 attributes. Each variable is generated per iteration and has the
numerator, denominator as its attributes and a value. But when I read it in
a loop,  i face two problems: 1. only the last i value is stored and the
rest are NULL. 2. the one stored does not contain the attribute values.
 Each value looks like this:
>t
[1] 3.897434
attr(,"numerator")
[1] 0.0002134457
attr(,"denominator")
[1] 5.47657e-05

Eg:
for (i in 1:5)
{
t<- test.functional.t(res.em1,res.em2,mint,maxt,se.m=0,points=300) ###
function calling
}

>t
[[1]]
NULL

[[2]]
NULL

[[3]]
NULL

[[4]]
NULL

[1] 3.897434

Any suggestions. Thanks for all the help. :)

Regards
Aparna
