Permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) is a geometric partitioning of variation across a multivariate data cloud, defined explicitly in the space of a chosen dissimilarity measure, in response to one or more factors in an analysis of variance design.

PERmutational Multivariate ANalysis of VAriance (PERMANOVA) is a permutation-based technique – it makes no distributional assumptions about multivariate normality or homogeneity of variances. It can be thought of visually or geometrically. PERMANOVA is equivalent to MRPP under certain conditions (Reiss et al. 2009), but is more versatile and widely...
Recall that ANOVA quantifies the variation within a dataset as the sum of squared differences between points and their mean or centroid. This is used to calculate the total variation (total sum of squares; SST) based on the differences between points and the grand mean. It is also used to calculate the variation within groups (SSW) from the differe...
The basic procedure for PERMANOVA is as follows. 1. Convert data matrix to a distance matrix, using an appropriate distance measure. 2. Square the distance matrix. 3. Calculate three partitions of the variation: 3.1. Total variation (total sum of squares; SST) – the sum of squared distances divided by the number of plots. 3.2. Variation within grou...
Using the data and group identities from our simple example, let’s work through the calculations involved with PERMANOVA. We begin with our distance matrix. For clarity, the distances between plots from different groups are in bold (view perm.eg$Group to confirm this). d.eg <- dist(perm.eg[ , c("Resp1", "Resp2")]) Square the distance matrix to yiel...
PERMANOVA is becoming increasingly common in community ecology. It is surprising, therefore, that only a few R packages provide it. We are using the main one, vegan. The LDM (linear decomposition model) package provides another formulation of PERMANOVA. The authors claim that their formulation outperforms those in vegan. It was developed for use wi...
I’ve introduced PERMANOVA as a means of comparing groups, but it is more broadly described as a linear model. Recall that ANOVA is a specific instance of a linear model in which the explanatory variable is categorical. Linear models can be used to compare groups (categorical variables) and to regress one continuously distributed variable on another...
Although PERMANOVA is an extremely powerful technique, its implementation in R has some limitations. Topics like the choice of sums of squares mentioned above are not unique to adonis2(). Two other issues to be aware of are how to handle random effects and how to decide what to permute.
If the limitations of adonis2()are problematic for your analysis, you may want to explore a non-R formulation of PERMANOVA. The PERMANOVA+ extension to PRIMER (http://www.primer-e.com/) is an extremely powerful and versatile way to use PERMANOVA. It was coded by Dr. Anderson (author of the 2001 article that developed this technique and introduced i...
PERMANOVA is an extremely powerful and versatile technique. It has strong parallels with ANOVA and thus is familiar to most ecologists. The flexibility of PERMANOVA allows it to be used in complex models, but this means it can also be used incorrectly. See additional ideas in the chapters about complex models, controlling permutations, and restrict...
