Good morning to all,
I have a doubt about the statistical test to apply of my samples.
I have samples collected from three different sites of the same animal (rumen, intestine and feces).
I have two groups of animals (control and treated).
I’d like to know if in my case it is better to calculate alpha and beta diversity with longitudinal plugin (and use Mann Withney or Wilcoxon test ?) or alpha-group significance plugin that uses the kruskal wallis test?
thank you
