What is the difference between Anosim and PERMANOVA?
What is the difference between Anosim and PERMANOVA?
ANOSIM tests whether distances between groups are greater than within groups. PERMANOVA tests whether distance differ between groups.
Why use PERMANOVA?
A PERMANOVA lets you statistically determine if the centers (centroids) of the cluster of samples for the sick person differs from the center of the samples for the healthy person.
What does a PERMANOVA show?
PERMANOVA is used to compare groups of objects and test the null hypothesis that the centroids and dispersion of the groups as defined by measure space are equivalent for all groups. A rejection of the null hypothesis means that either the centroid and/or the spread of the objects is different between the groups.
What is R2 in Permanova?
PERMANOVA tests if the centroids, similar to means, of each group are significantly different from each other. Likewise, an R2 statistic is calculated, showing the percentage of the variance explained by the groups.

Does PERMANOVA have assumptions?
The only explicit assumption of PERMANOVA is exchangeability, but it also assumes linearity and there are some more hints on how to prepare the data, which are well described in this article and references within: Anderson, M.J., 2014. Permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA).

What is Anosim?
Analysis of similarities (ANOSIM) is a robust non-parametric hypothesis-testing framework for differences in resemblances among groups of samples.
How do you read Anosim results?
The ANOSIM statistic compares the mean of ranked dissimilarities between groups to the mean of ranked dissimilarities within groups. An R value close to “1.0” suggests dissimilarity between groups while an R value close to “0” suggests an even distribution of high and low ranks within and between groups.
