Interesting post from Marti Anderson explaining similarities and differences between adonis in R and the Primer + Permanova package (beyond cost 😊).
Her take-home message: R and Primer are both great, as long as you think about what you’re doing and understand what your R package is actually doing. We could hardly disagree with that!
Importantly, Marti describes important differences when fitting mixed models to multivariate data sets, with, at the moment, only Primer fitting mixed models appropriately.
