## FFI Reports and Analysis

**FFI Reports and Analysis**

-  Standard Data Summary Reports

-  Parametric Statistics (by monitoring status)
** ****Mean**
** ****Standard deviation**
** ****Confidence intervals**
** ****One-way ANOVA**
** ****Dunnett’s multiple comparison t-test**

-  Nonparametric Statistics (by monitoring status)
-  **Median**
** ****Confidence intervals**
** ****Friedman’s test**
** ****Multiple comparison test based on**
**  ****Friedman rank sums**

## FFI Reports and Analysis - Reports

**FFI Reports and Analysis - Reports**

-  Summarize data by macroplot and monitoring status
-  Summarize data by strata and monitoring status
-  Print reports
-  Export as PDF or Excel spreadsheet
-  Import into other statistics software

** ****Cover = species intercept / transect length**
** ****Average cover, height by species**
-  Cover – Points  / Points  by Transect
** ****Cover = item hits / total points per transect**
** ****Average cover, height by species**

## FFI Reports and Analysis – Statistical Analysis

**FFI Reports and Analysis – Statistical Analysis**

-  Test for differences between monitoring statuses
-  Null hypothesis = no difference
-  Provide two options:
-  **ANOVA – assumes normal distribution of data**
** ****Freidman’s test – distribution free**
-  If reject null hypothesis and >3 monitoring statuses,
-   multiple pairwise comparisons to first monitoring status
-  **ANOVA – Dunnett’s multiple comparison procedure**
** ****Friedman’s – Multiple comparison test based on Friedman**
**   ****rank sums**
