## Dung observations ## Create a sample original data data <- data.frame(Species=sample(c("W", "G", "R"), 200, replace=TRUE), Age=sample(c("days", "weeks", "months"),200,replace=TRUE), Termites=sample(c(0,1),200,replace=TRUE))
## Show what original data look like head(data) Species Age Termites 1 W months 0 2 R weeks 0 3 W weeks 0 4 G weeks 0 5 R months 1 6 W days 1 ## Analyze each species ## Here we just tabulate Waterbuck as an example data.w <- data[data$Species == "W",] table.w <- table(data.w[,2:3]) ## The results table looks like table.w Termites Age 0 1 days 18 9 months 9 11 weeks 10 18 ## Apply Chi-squared Test chisq.test(table.w) ## Usually use Pearson's Chi-squared Test ## If your data are not suitable for the Pearson's Chi-squared Test, it seems that R will tell you. ## H0 : All three age groups have same Termites attack percentage. ## H1 : All situations except H0. ----- A R learner. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Comparing-three-groups-data-present-absent-tp2224751p2225612.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
