ANOVA, or Analysis of Variance, is a statistical method used to test differences between two or more group means. It helps researchers determine if at least one of the group means is significantly different from the others, making it a valuable tool in analyzing complex data sets commonly found in microbiome research. By partitioning the total variance into components attributable to different sources, ANOVA assists in understanding the influence of factors such as treatment conditions, microbial diversity, and environmental variables on microbiome composition.
