A two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the effects of salt concentration, species, and the interaction between them.
In assessable language they cover statistics, independent samples (or the student's t test) one way analysis of variance (ANOVA), factorial ANOVA, analysis of covariance, multivariate ANOVA, chi-square statistics, simple bivariate correlation, multiple regression, factor analysis, advanced modeling techniques, and meta-analysis.
The t-tests are good only for comparing two means, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) can compare several means, but should a difference among them exist, the ANOVA does not identify it.
