Hello Michael, thank you for the reply, it realy helped me to simplify my script. Basically all my questions are a bit the same, but with your hint I could solve most of my problems.

Re: [R] : automated levene test and other tests for variable datasets
Thank you very much for the reply Thierry,
It was very useful for me, currently I updated my script as follows, to be
able to use the same script for different datasets:
adapting my dataset : y - melt(dataset, na.rm=TRUE) where na.rm = true
ommits missing data points
variable - y[,1]
value - y[,2]
and then for the tests
leveneTest(value~variable,y)
apply(dataset,MARGIN=2,FUN=function(x) ks.test(x,pnorm)$p.value)
pairwise.t.test(value,variable,p.adjust.method = none)
pairwise.wilcox.test(value,variable,p.adjust.method = none)

Dear Joachim,
Storing your data in a long format will make this a lot easier.
library(reshape2)
long.data - melt(dataset, measure.var = c(A, B, C, D, E))
library(car)
leveneTest(value ~ variable, data = long.data)

Hello all,
I am writing a script for statistical comparison of means. I'm doing many
field trials with plants, where we have to compare the efficacy of
different treatments on, different groups of plants. Therefore I would
like to automate this script so it can be used for different datasets of
different experiments (which will have different dimensions). An example
dataset is given here under, I would like to compare if the data of 5
columns (A,B,C,D,E) are statistically different from each other, where A,
B, C, D and A are different treatments of my plants and I have 5
replications for this experiment
dataset - structure(list(A = c(62, 55, 57, 103, 59), B = c(36, 24, 61,
19, 79), C = c(33, 97, 54, 48, 166), D = c(106, 82, 116, 85, 94), E =
c(32, 16, 9, 7, 46)), .Names = c(A, B, C, D,E), row.names =
c(NA, 5L), class = data.frame)
1) First I would like to do a levene test to check the equality of
variances of my datasets. Currently I do this as follows:
library(car)
attach(dataset)
y - c(A,B,C,D,E)
group - as.factor(c(rep(1, length(A)), rep(2, length(B)),rep(3,
length(C)), rep(4, length(D)),rep(5, length(E
leveneTest(y, group)
Is there a way to automate this for all types of datasets, so that I can
use the same script for a datasets with any number of columns of data to
compare? My above script only works for a dataset with 5 columns to
compare
2) For my boxplots I use
boxplot(dataset)
which gives me all the boxplots of each dataset, so this is how I want it
3) To check normality I currently use the kolmogorov smirnov test as
follows
ks.test(A,pnorm)
ks.test(B,pnorm)
ks.test(C,pnorm)
ks.test(D,pnorm)
ks.test(E,pnorm)
Is there a way to replace the A, B, C, ... on the five lines into one line
of entry so that the kolmogorov smirnov test is done on all columns of my
dataset at once?
4) if data is normally distributed and the variances are equal I want to
do a t-test and do pairwise comparison, currently like this
pairwise.t.test(y,group,p.adjust.method = none)
if data is not normally distributed or variances are unequal I do a
pairwise comparison with the wilcoxon test
pairwise.wilcox.test(y,group,p.adjust.method = none)
But again I would like to make this easier, is there a way to replace the
y and group in my datalineby something so it works for any size of

5) Once I have my paiwise comparison results I know which groups are
statistically different from others, so I can add a and b and c to
different groups in my graph. Currently I do this on a sheet of paper by
comparing them one by one. Is there also a way to automate this? So R

A: a

Re: [R] : automated levene test and other tests for variable datasets
Sounds like you need to do some of your own homework... In particular, you need to learn how to write your own functions in R to carry out such tasks. There are many good tutorials on how to program in R, e.g. the Intro to R that ships with R and many others that can be found by searching. Choose one that suits your tastes/learning style and have at it! Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter Genentech Nonclinical Biostatistics (650) 467-7374 Data is not information. Information is not knowledge.

An example dataset is given here under, I would like to compare if the data of 5 columns (A,B,C,D,E) are statistically different from each other, where A, B, C, D and A are different treatments of my plants and I have 5 replications for this experiment dataset - structure(list(A = c(62, 55, 57, 103, 59), B = c(36, 24, 61, 19, 79), C = c(33, 97, 54, 48, 166), D = c(106, 82, 116, 85, 94), E = c(32, 16, 9, 7, 46)), .Names = c(A, B, C, D,E), row.names = c(NA, 5L), class = data.frame) 1) First I would like to do a levene test to check the equality of variances of my datasets. Currently I do this as follows: library(car) attach(dataset) y - c(A,B,C,D,E) group - as.factor(c(rep(1, length(A)), rep(2, length(B)),rep(3, length(C)), rep(4, length(D)),rep(5, length(E leveneTest(y, group) Is there a way to automate this for all types of datasets, so that I can use the same script for a datasets with any number of columns of data to compare? My above script only works for a dataset with 5 columns to compare 2) For my boxplots I use boxplot(dataset) which gives me all the boxplots of each dataset, so this is how I want it 3) To check normality I currently use the kolmogorov smirnov test as follows ks.test(A,pnorm) ks.test(B,pnorm) ks.test(C,pnorm) ks.test(D,pnorm) ks.test(E,pnorm) Is there a way to replace the A, B, C, ... on the five lines into one line of entry so that the kolmogorov smirnov test is done on all columns of my dataset at once? 4) if data is normally distributed and the variances are equal I want to do a t-test and do pairwise comparison, currently like this pairwise.t.test(y,group,p.adjust.method = none) if data is not normally distributed or variances are unequal I do a pairwise comparison with the wilcoxon test pairwise.wilcox.test(y,group,p.adjust.method = none) But again I would like to make this easier, is there a way to replace the y and group in my datalineby something so it works for any size of dataset? 5) Once I have my paiwise comparison results I know which groups are statistically different from others, so I can add a and b and c to different groups in my graph. Currently I do this on a sheet of paper by comparing them one by one. Is there also a way to automate this? So R gives me for example something like this A: a B: a C: b D: ab E: c All help and commentys are welcome. I'm quite new to R and not a statistical genious, so if I'm overseeing things or thinking in a wrong way please let me know how I can improve my way of working. In short I would like to build a script that can compare the means of different groups of data and check if they are statistically diiferent Met vriendelijke groeten - With kind regards, Joachim Audenaert onderzoeker gewasbescherming - crop protection researcher PCS | proefcentrum voor sierteelt - ornamental plant research Schaessestraat 18, 9070 Destelbergen, Belgi� T: +32 (0)9 353 94 71 | F: +32 (0)9 353 94 95 E: joachim.audena...@pcsierteelt.be | W: www.pcsierteelt.be Heb je je individuele begeleiding bemesting (CVBB) al aangevraagd? | Het PCS op LinkedIn Disclaimer | Please consider the environment before printing.
