JC,

If each row are the counts for a 2 x 2 contingency table - so for the ith contingency table you have counts for row 1 c(Y08[i],Z08[i]) and row 2 (Y09[i],Z09[i]) then you could use apply:

X <- cbind(vdata$Y08,vdata$X08-vdata$Y08,vdata$Y09,vdata$X09-vdata$Y98)

f.chisq <- function(x){
m <- matrix(x,2,2)
chisq.test(m)$p.value
}

apply(X,1,f.chisq)



Quoting JC <jerome.co...@gmail.com>:


I am very new to R. I have some data from a CVS stored in vdata with 4
columns labeled:
X08, Y08, X09, Y09.

I have created two new "columns" like so:

Z08 <- (vdata$X08-vdata$Y08)

Z09 <- (vdata$X09-vdata$Y09)

I would like to use chisq.test for each "row" and output the p-value
for each in a stored variable. I don't know how to do it. Can you
help?

so far I have done it for one row (but I want it done automatically
for all my data):

chidata=rbind(c(vdata$Y08[1],Z08[1]),c(vdata$Y09[1],Z09[1]))
results <- chisq.test(chidata)
results$p.value

I tried removing the [1] and the c() but that didn't work...  Any
ideas?

THANKS!
