I'm running this python script:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os,sys
from scipy import stats
import numpy as np
f=open('data2.txt', 'r').readlines()
N=len(f)-1
for i in range(0,N):
w=f[i].split()
l1=w[1:8]
l2=w[8:15]
list1=[float(x) for x in l1]
list2=[float(x) for x in l2]
result=stats.ttest_ind(list1,list2)
print result[1]
I am getting this error:
ValueError: could not convert string to float: id
When I do it for only one line in the interactive section, instead of for loop using a script, it works.
>>> from scipy import stats
>>> import numpy as np
>>> f=open('data2.txt','r').readlines()
>>> w=f[1].split()
>>> l1=w[1:8]
>>> l2=w[8:15]
>>> list1=[float(x) for x in l1]
>>> list1

Can someone explain why this is happening and how can I resolve this?
