Hi! I am looking to choose a condom based on its pleasure score. I received some summarised data from 10 individuals: structure(list(Ramses = c(4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4), Sheiks = c(5, 5, 6, 4, 7, 6, 4, 5, 6, 3), Trojans = c(7, 8, 7, 9, 6, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3), Unnamed = c(2, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4, 3)), .Names = c("Ramses", "Sheiks", "Trojans", "Unnamed"), row.names = c(NA, 10L), class = "data.frame")
However to do an annova to see if the mean score is not the same for all brands, I understand I need to have the data in survey database form i.e. 1 Ramses 4 1 Sheiks 4 1 Trojans 7 1 Unamed 2 2 Ramses 4 ... 10 Unamed 3 I would have a dataframe with two factor 'brand' and 'score'. I would then do an aov(score~brand,data=condom.dataframe) for instance. However to get my original condomData which has the tabulated scores per brand into the summarised form is a pain. I tried to just get a vector that essentially has all the rows of condomData put into one long vector from i.e. c( a1_1,a1_2...a1_5,a2_1,2_..a2_5.......a10_5) I would then bind this together with a names vector of rep(c('Ramses','Sheiks','Trojans','Unamed),10) and I would have my desired datafram for anova. But alas my attempt below does not work: r<-dim(condomData)[1] scoreS<-c() for (i in 1:r) { score<-as.numeric(condomData[r,]) scoreS<-c(scoreS,s) } It just gives me the last row of condomData copied 10 times. Any help? Thank you, I really want to know if all condoms are equal.
