Why don't you put your R code in file.R:

library('stats')
my.summary = function(Res) {
  av <- aov( score~factor+Error(id_subject/factor), data=Res)
  summary(av)
}

then from python:

r.source("file.R")
r.my_summary(Res)

???

Subject: [Rpy] Repeated measure ANOVA : formula and summary problem


Hi everyone,

I'm new to RPy, and I came to this terrific module as I was used to make some 
of my analyses in R, and I came to Python in replacement of Matlab. Formerly, I 
manipulated data with Matlab, put it in a MySQL database, and made my stats in 
R via ODBC. I'm now thinking about jumping one step by calling R directly from 
Python with RPy.

The analysis I almost always have to do is a repeated measure ANOVA. The way I 
do this in R is :


# after odbc connection and sql query, Res contains my data

library('stats')
av <- aov( score~factor+Error(id_subject/factor), data=Res)
summary(av)


Now I tried the same in RPy :


# retrieve data from sql query, Res is a dictionnary

r.library('stats')
av = r.aov("score~factor+Error(id_subject/factor)", data=Res)


This fails saying that "Error" isn't defined in the dataframe...
After reading some R doc about GLM, I found that using the R function formula() 
seemed to solve this problem:

av = r.aov(r.formula("score~factor+Error(id_subject/factor)"), data=Res)
r.summary(av)

However, a new problem rose in r.summary(). This function returns something 
that isn't readable, and that does not contain the p values, or anything 
similar. It seems that the r.summary_aov() function might be adequat, but this 
function returns an Error saying that there is a NaN somewhere...

Does anybody have an advice on how to perform the repeated measure ANOVA?
Thanks!
-Etienne


PS : I use Windows XP, Python 2.5.1, Numpy 1.0.3.1 and RPy 1.0.1-Numpy-py2.5 
and R 2.6.1.
