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) [1] 0.002348970 0.004733230 0.004810952 0.004907549 0.002342979 0.018748229 0.003546655 0.006084410 [9] 0.003100983 0.007007980 HTH, Jorge On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 8:01 AM, John Sorkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > R 2.7.2 > Windows XP > > 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.
