Try
t.test(data1[,1],data1[,2]) 
for the first two columns of data1.

[R] stats tests on large tables

2008-08-26 Thread Richard Emes
I have a large table of data which i can read in using read.table. 
I then want to conduct various tests on the data.

Is there a simple way to conduct these tests by specifying the column headers 
which relate to different conditions of the experiment?

e.g. data1 <- read.table("test.table", header=TRUE)
t.test(test~control, data = data1)

Which doesn't work and results in the error
"Error in t.test.formula(test ~ control, data = data1) : 
  grouping factor must have exactly 2 levels"


Many Thanks

Richard
