whoops. forgot to mention the apply command.
so this is what I exactly typed in
fun5<-function(m){as.numeric(t.test(m[1:11],m[12:22])[[1]])}
abc<-apply(temp.matrix,1,fun5)
temp.matrix or course being my 196002*22 matrix
and then I got the t-test rowwise for my two groups.
It's just that previously I had the extra commas in my
function. Post doc in lab helped me. Syntax always worries me.
