Examples

# example using 'bars' data set
bars.m <- aggregate(bars[, -c(1:4)], list(sample = bars$sample, attribute = bars$attribute), mean)
bars.m <- bars.m[order(bars.m$sample, bars.m$attribute), ]
attributes <- bars.m$attribute[bars.m$sample == 1]
times <- get.times(colnames(bars.m)[-c(1:2)])
bar1 <- bars.m[bars.m$sample == 1 & bars.m$attribute == "Caramelized Flavour", -c(1:2)]
bar2 <- bars.m[bars.m$sample == 2 & bars.m$attribute == "Caramelized Flavour", -c(1:2)]
b.diff <- get.differences(bar1, bar2)
round(b.diff, 3)
