[R] Using apply for two datasets

Thanks a lot for the quick help!

mapply() seems promising. However, mapply(t.test, myData1, myData2)
would not work, so how can I specify the margin in mapply() which
function t.test() will be applied over? For example, I specify the 2nd
dimension (column) in apply(myData1, 2, t.test) to run one-sample
t-test. Is there a way I can achieve the same with mapply()?

Thanks again,
Gang
