significance of indices

Hi!
I was wondering …Is there any way to test if there is statistical significance of diversity indices between samples?..For example comparing Chao1 between samples that would give us a strong argument when comparing samples…?
Cheers!

Sure… You’d run summary.single with subsampling and then use the output file in your statistical package of choice and the appropriate test.

ok thanks!
was just wondering if there was a way to test it with mothers
