R help - Apr 2011 - Randomisation tests

Hi,

I want to ue a randomisation test, to compare two sample means, for a 
small set of data, I've looked at towt.permutation, perm.test and 
permtest, as well as permTS(), which is the best one to use for such a 
simple purpose? I know perm.test package isn't used anymore and coins 
recommended, but reading the manual I couldnt find the function most 
like it, ore more likely I didn't understand the lingo used to know it's
what I wanted.

Thanks,
Ben.

For simple permutation tests I usually just code it up in regular R without
worrying about any packages.  R is powerful enough that it is simple to do a
permutation test in only a few lines ( or sometimes just one long line).  And
that way you know exactly what it is doing.
