[R] selecting significant predictors from ANOVA result

[Bert Gunter]

Ram:

You do not say how many cases (rows in your dataset) you have, but I suspect
it may be small (a few hundred, say).

In any case, what you describe is probably just a complicated way to
generate random numbers -- it is **highly** unlikely that any meaningful,
replicable scientific results would result from your proposed approach.

Not surprising -- this appears to be a very difficult data analysis issue.
It is obvious that you have only a minimal statistical background, so I
would strongly recommend that you find a competent local statistician to
help you with your work. Remote help from this list is wholly inadequate.

Subject: [R] selecting significant predictors from ANOVA result

Dear all,
 
I did ANOVA for many response variables (Var1, Var2, ....Var75000), and i
got the result of p-value like below. Now, I want to select those
predictors, which have pvalue less than or equal to 0.05 for each response
variable. For example, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5 and X6 in case of Var1, and
similarly, X1, X2.......X5 in case of Var2, only X1 in case of Var3 and none
of the predictors in case of Var4.

I have very large data sets (# of response variables = ~75,000). So, i need
some kind of automated procedure. But i have no ideas.
If i got help from some body, it will be great for me.
 
Thanks in advance.
