I agree that the posting guide is due for updating.
If the mailing list maintainers were willing I think r-consult might
not be a terrible idea. I do think the center of gravity has moved to
Cross Validated, and it might be minimally sufficient to point people
there (or Math Overflow for probability/math questions) rather than
starting a new group.

Lisa, this seems to be fairly straight forward to do in R and I'm happy to help
you get started. However, please be aware that you do have to have knowledge of
statistics to do the analysis/modeling.
Rolf, Jeff, I do appreciate your view that this is not a R probelm. It's more a 'how to
use R' / 'help me get started' problem. The posting guidelines point to "Usenet
groups sci.stat.consult (applied statistics and consulting) and sci.stat.math
(mathematical stat and probability)." Since Google announced [1] that Google groups
will not support new usenet content starting tomorrow, would it make sense to have a
r-consult mailing list or tag it [consult] on r-help?
Regards,
Joakim

Regarding 1 and 2, please read the Posting Guide mentioned at the
bottom of every R-help post. R does not equal statistics... and
education about statistics is way too ambitious to include in this
mailing list that is about a tool that happens to be useful for
statisticians.
There are forums online that do cater to statistical methods (e.g.
Cross Validated or many results from a search engine)... but such
conversations can be extensive so as Rolf suggests this is a good time
to learn what resources your educational institutions can provide...
online forums may be too limiting when your questions are so vague.

I am writing my master thesis in which I compared two cultures . So
for my statistics I need to compare Age,Sex,Culture as well as have a
look at the tasks scores .
Anyone familiar with this ?
I’d love to share my script so you guide me where I did wrong .
(1) This post is far too vague to be appropriate for this list.
(2) You should learn some statistics; probably linear modelling.
(3) You should talk to your thesis advisor.
(4) Please see fortunes::fortune(285).
cheers,
Rolf Turner
