Hi R-listers,
I am trying to compare sections of the beach separated from the HTL to the
Veg (east to west), separated into indices (-5 to 30m), HTLIndex. Cross
parallel (north to south) are major beach sections (Rayos 1, 2, 3, 4 and
MNB). I am thinking to do an ANOVA for each independent rectangle of beach
(not exactly but will be treated as). The HTL from (0-5m) in Rayo 1 is one
rectangle of beach; (0-5m) in Rayo 2 is another... etc.
I was considering an 2-way anova with interactions - see below. But this
does not identify each section of the beach by 5 meters and Rayos.
1) What is the best way to compare these beach rectangle sections?
2) Each Rayo is a little bit different in size but for management purposes,
it is identified by these sections (leave alone or use), so maybe ANOVA is
appropriate?
3) Script suggestions greatly appreciated.
Please advise, Jean
