I am new to R and I suspect my problem is easily solved, but I haven't
been able to figure it out without using loops. I am trying to
implement Blair & Karniski's (1993) permutation test. I've included a
sample data frame below. This data frame represents the conditional
means (C1, C2) for 3 subjects in 2 consecutive samples of a continuous
data set (e.g. ERP waveform). Each sample includes all possible
permuations of the subject means (2^N), which is 8 in this case.
The problem: I need to run a paired t-test on each SampleXPermutation
set and save the maximum t-value obtained for each sample. The real
data set has 16 subjects (2^16 permutations) and 500 samples, which
leads to more than 32 million t-tests. I have a loop version of the
program working, but it would take a few weeks to complete the job and I
was hoping that someone could tell me how to do it faster?
thank you kindly,
Matthew Finkbeiner
