Hello, I am using "B" as a vector to store all the t.tests. since i am a
newbie to both R and statistics I am not sure if "B" is the list. Also I see
"c" used in the do.call formula and do not know what it is being used for. I
used aggregate but getting this error" Error in aggregate.data.frame(eo,
eo$PlateID, function(.sub) t.test(ENA78 ~  :   'by' must be a list". 
As i mention in my OP that I am using is function from an earlier post.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Sharad
