You could do the following: y <- apply(dat,1,function(a) t.test(a[1:10],a[11:30])$p.value)
This will produce an array of 20000 p-values. --- On Fri, 14/8/09, Gina Liao <yi...@hotmail.com> wrote: > From: Gina Liao <yi...@hotmail.com> > Subject: [R] problem about t test > To: r-h...@stat.math.ethz.ch > Received: Friday, 14 August, 2009, 12:53 PM > > Hello, > I have a data frame >str(dat)'data.frame': 20000 > obs. of 30 variables > it contains two information-two types of cancers:stage A(A1 > to A10) and stage B(B1 to B20) ##totally 30 > patients-20000 sets of gene expression > I'd like to find the lists for top 20 differentially > expressed genes using t-test (by P-value). > Here is my code, unfortunately it doesn't work...I need the > help,please.
