If I understand you correctly what you want to do is do t-test (mu=0) for each column of the data.
Treating the data as a data.frame rather than a matrix you can do something like this and then pick out the p-values but with 140 t-tests I don't know what you'll get in terms of anything meaninful. ====================================================== aa <- data.frame(a=rnorm(25, 5, 2), b=rnorm(1:25, 0,1)) mytea <- apply(aa, 2, t.test) tresults <- lapply(mytea, function(.tres) { data.frame(t.value=.tres[1],dfs=.tres[2],conf.int1=.tres$conf.int[1],conf.int2= .tres$conf.int[2],p.value=.tres[3]) }) finalresults <- do.call(rbind, tresults) ===================================================== (Thanks to Mark Leeds for the lapply approach) --- Keizer_71 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > I need some simple help. > > Here are my codes > > ##########will give me 10000 > probesets#################### > data.sub = > data.matrix[order(variableprobe,decreasing=TRUE),][1:10000,] > dim(data.sub) > data_output<-write.table(data.sub, file = > "c://data_output.csv", sep = ",", > col.names = NA) > > When i export to excel, it shows me this.
