I am also a newbie, but here are the few thing i do eo=read.table(file="path where you have saved your text file/xxx.txt",header=T, ) #this will only read excelfiles saved as *.csv file attach(eo) #attach the data names(eo)
go to this website http://www.statmethods.net/stats here is how to store numbers as vectors a<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7) here is how i means as vector d<-aggregate(LMMP8,list(PlateID,Self_T1D),mean, na.rm=T) I would suggest u to search for website for R tutorials here are some good ones go to this website http://www.statmethods.net/stats http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Lemon-kickstart/kr_ttest.html this one has all the codes you can change them according to your data http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/pls/portallive/docs/1/1171930.TXT http://www.mayin.org/ajayshah/KB/R/index.html also download the book by verjani it would be a great help to you.
