Research direction

Open the linked MicrobiotaProcess vignette and go to “3.3 calculate alpha index and Visualization.” Determine which statistical test is used for the violin plot, then update that section to state the test and explain the statistics clearly. Verify the rendered vignette contains the clarification.

Description

Hi,
I am using microbiotaprocess, and I realized that I could not find any information regarding statistics behind the numbers in the violin plot from vignette "3.3 calculate alpha index and Visualization". Could you please specify what test is used?

Thank you so much for your time,
DAT
