## This R script is used for the example for R Seminar in CRMDA ## This script will show how to use R script to split the Wind ## variable in the airquality data by median and then use the ## independent t-test to compare Temp between the days with high ## and low wind ## Please note that all lines can be run by clicking the menu ## command to 'Run line or selection' or use Ctrl+R. # This function is used to find a median split of a function MedSplit <- function(x) # New function that take a vector x. { med <- median(x) n <- length(x) group <- rep(NA, n) # Create a new variable as a result for(i in 1:n) { if(x[i] > med) { group[i] <- 1 } else { group[i] <- 2 } } return(group) } wind.degree <- MedSplit(airquality$Wind) t.test(airquality$Temp ~ wind.degree, var.equal=TRUE) x <- 1000 for (i in 1:20) { x <- x - i }
