Dear John,
Yes. Assuming that 'sample2' is fixed, something like this should do what
you want:

# Data sets
set.seed(123)
sample1=matrix(rnorm(100),ncol=10)
sample2=rnorm(10,5,4)

# t-test p-values
apply(X,1,function(x) t.test(x,sample2)$p.value)

It seems clear that you meant to type:
apply(sample1,1,function(x) t.test(x,sample2)$p.value)

I am using apply to compute a series of Student's t-test from two matrices,
sample1 and sample2.
boo<-apply(sample1,1,t.test,sample2)

I want to pick of the p-values from the tests, but can't seem to get it to
work. I have tried several methods to get the values including:
boo<-apply(sample1,1,t.test$t.test,sample2)
boo<-apply(sample1,1,t.test,sample2)$t.test

any suggestions?

Thanks
John
