Thanks for all your reply. I am a biologist and only start to use R recently. Yes, It is my fault. I assume that perm.test is a very popular method. Thanks for Dennis to point out that it is in exactRankTests package. I did not realize that there are so many R package. I guess I did not ask the right question and neither in the right way.
Based on my limited knowledge on statistics, it seems like use t-statistics to test the permutation. I am just not sure.
