Comparing Groups

Let’s explore the different group comparisons.

We'll cover the following

The tapply() function in R
Summary statistics of Darwin’s data

R functionality to compare groups

We’ve used the mean(), var(), and sd() functions to calculate the overall mean, variance, and standard deviation for the heights of all 30 plants from the darwin data frame. We can do the same for the two experimental treatments using the Cross and Self columns in the wide format dataset (the data frame from the Sleuth package). This is shown in the code snippet below:
