I'd suggest to use the function mt.teststat in the package multtest or 
rowttests in the package genefilter. Both can be found athe the bioconductor 
webpage (www.bioconductor.org)

<Ranjan>> Hello all,
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> I am trying to run a two sample t-test on a matrix which is a
<Ranjan>> 196002*22 matrix. I want to run the t-test, row-wise, with the
<Ranjan>> first 11 columns being a part of the first group and columns
<Ranjan>> 12-22 being a part of the second group. 
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> I tried running something like (temp.matrix being my 196002*22
<Ranjan>> matrix)
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> t.test(temp.matrix[,1:11],temp.matrix[,12:22],paired=TRUE)
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> or somthing like
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> 
as.numeric(t.test(temp.matrix[,1:11],temp.matrix[,12:22],paired=TRUE)[[1]])
<Ranjan>> so as to only capture the t-value alone and 
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> and I get a result for the whole matrix instead of a row-wise
<Ranjan>> result. 
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> I want to avoid using a "for" loop to increment the number of
<Ranjan>> rows as it would take a huge amount of time.
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
<Ranjan>> 
<Ranjan>> thanks
