so i am having this question what should i do if the give data file (.txt) has 4 columns, but different lengths? how can i read them in R? any idea for the following problem?
Gas consumption (1000 cubic feet) was measured before and after insulation was put into a house. We are interested in looking at the effect of insulation on gas consumption. The average outside temperature (degrees celcius) was also measured. The data are included in the file "insulation.txt". (a) Determine if insulation in the house effects the average gas consumption. (b) How much extra gas is used when there is no insulation? Provide an interval estimate as well as a point estimate. heres the content in "insulation.txt" (u can just copy and paste it to the notepad so can be read in R) Before insul After insul. temp gas temp gas -0.8 7.2 -0.7 4.8 -0.7 6.9 0.8 4.6 0.4 6.4 1.0 4.7 2.5 6.0 1.4 4.0 2.9 5.8 1.5 4.2 3.2 5.8 1.6 4.2 3.6 5.6 2.3 4.1 3.9 4.7 2.5 4.0 4.2 5.8 2.5 3.5 4.3 5.2 3.1 3.2 5.4 4.9 3.9 3.9 6.0 4.9 4.0 3.5 6.0 4.3 4.0 3.7 6.0 4.4 4.2 3.5 6.2 4.5 4.3 3.5 6.3 4.6 4.6 3.7 6.9 3.7 4.7 3.5 7.0 3.9 4.9 3.4 7.4 4.2 4.9 3.7 7.5 4.0 4.9 4.0 7.5 3.9 5.0 3.6 7.6 3.5 5.3 3.7 8.0 4.0 6.2 2.8 8.5 3.6 7.1 3.0 9.1 3.1 7.2 2.8 10.2 2.6 7.5 2.6 8.0 2.7 8.7 2.8 8.8 1.3 9.7 1.5 thx and any ideas would help. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/data-analysis.-R-tp22641912p22641912.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
