Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Diversity comparison test between groups of samples. The function automatically assesses whether the data meets the properties for parametric statistics and performs the appropriate test accordingly: Students' T, ANOVA, Wilcoxon or Kruskal-Wallis. If the posthoc argument is set as TRUE, multiple group comparisons are complemented with post hoc pairwise tests, either Tukey test (parametric) or Dunn test with Benjamini-Hochberg correction (non-parametric).

1	div_test(countable, qvalue, hierarchy, tree, posthoc)

`countable`	A matrix indicating the relative abundances of multiple samples. Columns should be samples and rows OTUs.
`qvalue`	A positive integer or decimal number (>=0), usually between 0 and 3.
`hierarchy`	A two-column matrix indicating the relation between samples (first column) and groups (second column).
`tree`	A phylogenetic tree of class 'phylo'. The tip labels must match the row names in the OTU table. Use the function match_data() if the OTU names do not match.
`posthoc`	Whether to run post hoc pairwise analyses or not. If TRUE, an ANOVA will be complemented with a Tukey test and a Kruskal-Wallis test will be complemented with a Dunn test.
