Dear R-Users,

I have a trivial problem, but extensive googling and ??'ing did not solve it: I want to obtain the sums of squares from a summary.aov() object for later use. Example:

> DV <- rnorm(100)
> IV1 <- as.factor(rep(c("male", "female"), times = 50))
> IV2 <- as.factor(rep(c("young", "old"), times = 50))
> 
> summary(aov(DV ~ IV1 * IV2))

            Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F)
IV1          1  0.215 0.21499  0.2277 0.6343
Residuals   98 92.523 0.94411               

How can I store the sums of squares in a variable for later use? Like this:

>some.magic.command()
[1]  0.215  92.523

Thank you,
Bertolt
