First of all, read the posting guide carefully : http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html Your question is far from clear. When you say that the lengths of P and Q are different, you mean the length of the data or the difference between start and end? That makes a world of difference.
Regarding the statistical test, that depends on what your data represents. Is it possible for P to fall close to the left and the right : P ------------------------- Q --------------------------- For example. You should also specify which test you want to use. Then people on the list will be able to tell you whether that is available in R. You can off course construct your own test with the tools R provides, but again, this requires a lot more information. Next to that, the list is actually not intended for statistical advice, but for advice regarding R code. Maybe somebody will join in with some statistical guidance, but if you don't know what to do, you better consult a statistician at your departement.
