R help - Sep 2004 - Accessing aov p-value

Hi

I have a data.frame, and want to perform an analysis of variance on each
row.  I am currently using aov() and summary(), but what I want to do is
perform an analysis of variance on each row and then append the F
statistic and the p-value to the end of the row, so I can then use these
to filter the data later on;  and I want to do all this in a for loop.

How can I access the F statistic and the p-value from aov()
programmatically?

Thanks

Mick

Really?  On one row?  Makes no sense to me!

They are not there (nor are they printed).  I think you may have meant
from the summary() method for aov, in which case _please_ read the
relevant help page.

Following up example(aov):

summary(npk.aov)[[1]][, 4:5]

is a data frame, with
> print.data.frame(summary(npk.aov)[[1]][, 4:5])
                F value      Pr(>F)
