Calculations with aggregate data: confidence intervals
Dear all, I would like to calculate the confidence intervals on aggregate data. I know how to do this using the t test, but it did not work together with the aggregate function. Is there a function that can be applied to the aggregate function to obtain the (95%) confidence intervals, rather than applying a calculation? Best regards, Luigi my.data<-structure(list( column_1 = 1:120, column_2 = structure(c( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8), .Label = c("Unstimulated", "ESAT6", "CFP10", "Rv3615c", "Rv2654", "Rv3879", "Rv3873", "PHA"), class = "factor"), column_3 = c( 192.0519108,183.6403531,53.46798757 ,83.60638077,69.60749873,159.4706861,256.8765622,499.2899303, 2170.799076,1411.349719,2759.472348,2098.973397,2164.739515 ,1288.676574,1611.486543,6205.229575, 870.7424981 ,465.9967135,191.8962375,864.0937485,2962.693675,1289.259137,2418.651212,7345.712517, 0,168.1198893,674.4342961,101.1575401,47.81596237,0,0,1420.793922, 142.6871331,5.466468742,291.9564635,80.73914133 ,73.02239621,64.47806871,144.3543635,3167.959757, 3164.748333 ,1092.634557,28733.20269,1207.87783,729.6090973,151.8706088,241.2466141,9600.963594, 1411.718287,12569.96285,1143.254476,6317.378481 ,16542.27718,79.68025792,1958.495138,7224.503437, 208.4382941 ,69.48609769,656.691151,0.499017582,7114.910926,187.6296174,41.73980805,8930.784541, 4.276752185,0.432300363,60.89228665 ,1.103924786,0.490686366,1.812993239,7.264531581,1518.610307, 2172.051528 ,595.8513744,17141.84336,589.6565971,1340.287628,117.350942,593.7034054,24043.61463, 0,81.83292179 ,1539.864321,36.41722958,8.385131047,161.7647376,65.21615696,7265.573875, 97.84753179 ,154.051827,0.613835842,10.06138851,45.04879285,176.8284258,18795.75462,3067686.769, 5780.34957,944.2200834,2398.235596,1083.393165,2541.714557,1251.670895,1547.178549,1792.679176, 3067.988416,8117.210173,23676.02226,8251.937547,17360.80494,18563.61561,16941.865,31453.96708, 2767.493803,4796.33016,12292.93705,3864.657567,9380.673835,14886.44683,8457.88646,26050.47191)), .Names = c("row", "stimulation", "copy"), row.names = c(NA, -120L), class = "data.frame") attach(my.data) # ??? question: confidence intervals for each variable ???
