R help - Jun 2003 - beginner's question: Graphical presentation of t test

Hi,

Is there any way to use R to present t test results for three groups of 
experiments, each of which involves several parallel experiment series with 
groups of control vs treated. I would like to present the average fold change 
of the experimental parameter (concentration of enzymes) as bars with 
standard error and the p value above the bar. So, there should be two groups 
(control vs treated)  of three bars for the three enzymes.

Thanks

Peter

Take a look at the 'plotmeans' function in the gregmisc library.  It
will
draw the means and error bars for you, allowing you to connect the means for
the paired control and treated groups with something like this:

<R code>
# sample source data 10 replicates for each enzyme for treated and control
x <- rnorm(60)
enzyme <- rep(c("ABC123", "ABD124", "CCF342"),
length=60)
treat  <- rep(c("CONTROL","TREATED"), length=60)

# create a enzyme by treatment label
group <- interaction(enzyme, treat)

# plot the means and confidence intervals
library(gregmisc)
plotmeans( x ~ group, connect=list(1:2,3:4,5:6))

# add p-values
data <- data.frame(x, enzyme, treat)
p.vals <- by( data, enzyme, function(data) t.test( x ~ treat,
data=data)$p.value )
text(x=c(1.5, 3.5, 5.5), y=rep(0,3), paste("P-value:\n",
format.pval(p.vals)) )
</R code>
