hi,
  
  i'm experimenting with the rpy pkg and for the t.test() i'm noticing a 
discrepency w/R. 

from venables's intro to R:
A=[79.98,80.04,80.02,80.04,80.03,80.03,80.04,79.97,80.05,80.03,80.02,80.,80.02]
B=[80.02,79.94,79.98,79.97,79.97,80.03,79.95,79.97]

c=r.t_test(A,B, alterntive='two.sided', mu=0, equal='FALSE')
c['p.value']
0.0069393266144479413

c=r.t_test(A,B, alterntive='two.sided', mu=0, equal='TRUE')
c['p.value']
0.0069393266144479413

while in R (variances are statistically equal by var.test and means are not):

> var.test(A,B)
alternative hypothesis: true ratio of variances is not equal to 1 
but w/ p-value = 0.3938 you can not accept the alternative

> t.test(A,B,var.equal=T)   

        Two Sample t-test

data:  A and B 
t = 3.4722, df = 19, p-value = 0.002551
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 
95 percent confidence interval:
 0.01669058 0.06734788 
sample estimates:
mean of x mean of y 
 80.02077  79.97875 

thanks,
kevin
