[R] anova p value extraction

quote the variable name or index the results from anova as a dataframe
using [. Someone (Prof. Ripley IIRC, apologies if I got this wrong) once
told me that backticks ` are the preferred, portable way of doing this,
but in this case " quotes work as well.

Classes ‘anova’ and 'data.frame':       5 obs. of  5 variables:
 $ Df     : int  1 1 1 1 45
 $ Sum Sq : num  204.1  53.3  12.4  63.1 650.7
 $ Mean Sq: num  204.1  53.3  12.4  63.1  14.5
 $ F value: num  14.116  3.689  0.858  4.360     NA
 $ Pr(>F) : num  0.000492 0.061125 0.359355 0.042471       NA
 - attr(*, "heading")= chr  "Analysis of Variance Table\n" "Response: sr"
> tmp$`Pr(>F)`
[1] 0.0004921955 0.0611254598 0.3593550848 0.0424711387           NA
> tmp$"Pr(>F)"
[1] 0.0004921955 0.0611254598 0.3593550848 0.0424711387           NA
> tmp[,5]
[1] 0.0004921955 0.0611254598 0.3593550848 0.0424711387           NA

##drop the last entry corresponding to the row for Residuals:
> tmp[1:4,5]
[1] 0.0004921955 0.0611254598 0.3593550848 0.0424711387

This has nothing to do with S3 or S4, just knowing how to reference
non-standard (probably not the correct terminology) names.
