Hi,
I have constructed a dataframe as follows: Oil <- rep(c("Oil1","Oil2","Oil3"),8) Comp <- rep(rep(c("C1","C2"),c(4,4)),3) Mth <- rep(c("M1","M1","M2","M2"),6) Meas <- rep(c(1,2),12) Result <- rnorm(24,mean=100, sd=5) df <- data.frame(Oil, Comp, Mth, Meas, Result) The same compound (Comp) is found in different oils. Now I want to see if there are differences in method per compound. I tried this one: df.t <- t.test(Result~Mth | Comp, df) But I get: Error in t.test.formula(Result ~ Mth | Comp, df) : grouping factor must have exactly 2 levels In addition: Warning message: | not meaningful for factors in: Ops.factor(Mth, Comp) How can I get my results like: Comp1: Mean Mth 1: .... Mean Mth 2: ... t = .... Comp 2: .... .... Is this possible? And please: How can I do it?
