Good Morning. Below I like statement like j<-grep(".r\\b",colnames(mydata),value=TRUE); j

Thanks. dstat is just my own descriptive routine. > x [1] "age" "sleep" "primary" "middle" [5] "high" "somewhath" "veryh" "somewhatm" [9] "verym" "somewhatc" "veryc" "somewhatl" [13] "veryl" "village" "married" "social" [17] "agricultural" "communist" "minority" "religious" > colnames(mydata) [1] "depression" "sleep" "female" "village" [5] "agricultural" "married" "communist" "minority" [9] "religious" "social" "no" "primary" [13] "middle" "high" "veryh" "somewhath" [17] "notveryh" "verym" "somewhatm" "notverym" [21] "veryc" "somewhatc" "notveryc" "veryl" [25] "somewhatl" "notveryl" "age" "village.r" [29] "married.r" "social.r" "agricultural.r" "communist.r" [33] "minority.r" "religious.r" "male.r" "education.r" > j<-grep(".r\\b",colnames(mydata),value=TRUE); j [1] "village.r" "married.r" "social.r" "agricultural.r" [5] "communist.r" "minority.r" "religious.r" "male.r" [9] "education.r" > j<-c(x,j); j [1] "age" "sleep" "primary" "middle" [5] "high" "somewhath" "veryh" "somewhatm" [9] "verym" "somewhatc" "veryc" "somewhatl" [13] "veryl" "village" "married" "social" [17] "agricultural" "communist" "minority" "religious" [21] "village.r" "married.r" "social.r" "agricultural.r" [25] "communist.r" "minority.r" "religious.r" "male.r" [29] "education.r" > data<-mydata[j] > cbind( + dstat(subset(data,male.r==1))[,1:2], + dstat(subset(data,male.r==0))[,1:2] + ) Sample statistics (Weighted = FALSE ) Sample statistics (Weighted = FALSE ) Mean Std.dev Mean Std.dev age 6.279 0.841 6.055 0.813 sleep 6.483 1.804 6.087 2.045 primary 0.452 0.498 0.408 0.491 middle 0.287 0.453 0.176 0.381 high 0.171 0.377 0.082 0.275 somewhath 0.522 0.500 0.447 0.497 veryh 0.254 0.435 0.250 0.433 somewhatm 0.419 0.493 0.460 0.498 verym 0.544 0.498 0.411 0.492 somewhatc 0.376 0.484 0.346 0.476 veryc 0.593 0.491 0.615 0.487 somewhatl 0.544 0.498 0.504 0.500 veryl 0.390 0.488 0.389 0.487 village 0.757 0.429 0.752 0.432 married 0.936 0.245 0.906 0.291 social 0.538 0.499 0.528 0.499 agricultural 0.780 0.414 0.826 0.379 communist 0.178 0.383 0.038 0.190 minority 0.071 0.256 0.081 0.273 religious 0.088 0.284 0.102 0.302 village.r 0.243 0.429 0.248 0.432 married.r 0.064 0.245 0.094 0.291 social.r 0.462 0.499 0.472 0.499 agricultural.r 0.220 0.414 0.174 0.379 communist.r 0.822 0.383 0.962 0.190 minority.r 0.929 0.256 0.919 0.273 religious.r 0.912 0.284 0.898 0.302 male.r 1.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 education.r 0.090 0.286 0.334 0.472 > ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
