Hello Friends,
I am curious to know what kind of test can we apply for this dataset. Columns are categorical (Study site) variables. the active number indicates the sighting of a particular mammal species.
Rows are different types of tree species.
Any help would be appreciated
#Chi-Square #Statistics #Descriptives #ANOVA
Thanks

You cannot do any statistical comparisons between sites since you only have single observations of species i.e. no subsamples within sites. But you can calculate species diversity at each site (S1 = 7, S2 = 7, S3 = 6, etc.) :)
Statistical tests are used in hypothesis testing estimate the difference between two or more groups.
2.If the value of the test statistic is less extreme than the one calculated from the null hypothesis, then you can infer no statistically significant relationship between the predictor and outcome variables.
The first step would probably be to establish a research question. What question do you wish to answer with this dataset?
Guillaume Adeux: Only these six sites have a mammal species. These six SGs have diverse plants. Hence, we are looking for their behaviour such as feeding, nesting. Is there a statistical test other than Rank Correlation or Kandell Tau?
I am a finance researcher by practice. So, I admit I am not good at conservation and biodiversity statistics.
My sister is currently working on a research paper based on her PG dissertation.
Thanks again
