OFFTOPIC! This is a statistical question, not an R question. Post on a
statistics site like stats.stackexchange.com .
However, your post suggests that you are completely out of your depth
here (0/1 responses suggest that glm modeling via logistic regression
is called for). Remote internet advice is unlikely to fill the gap
between what you seem to need and what you seem to know. I strongly
suggest you find a local statistical expert to help if you wish to
avoid producing nonsense.
(Once you have figured out what you need to do, questions about how to
use R tools to do it are of course appropriate).
Cheers,
