Thank you,it is really helpful everytime. I didn't provide any example data because I thought it is just a question of how to report t.test() result in R. However,as you say,it is better to show more details for finding an elegant way
In fact I generate a 3-dimension array like that: str(a) num [1:2, 1:245, 1:3] 47.5 NA 48.9 NA 47.5 ... - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 3 ..$ : chr [1:2] "13%" "21%" ..$ : chr [1:245] "TWF2H101" "TWF2H105" "TWF2H106" "TWF2H110" ... ..$ : chr [1:3] "EW.INCU" "EW.17.5" "EMW" I want to do two sample mean t-test between 13% and 21% for each variable "EW.INCU" "EW.17.5" "EMW". So I try these codes: variable<-dimnames(a)[[3]] O2<-dimnames(a)[[1]] for (i in variable) { print(i) print(O2[1]) print(O2[2]) print(t.test(a[O2[1],,i],a[O2[2],,i],na.rm=T)) } I don't think it is an elegant way and I am inexperience to report raw result. Could you give me more help? Yao He 2013/1/7 arun <smartpink...@yahoo.com>: > Hi, > You didn't provide any example data.
