  2. Hi team, I've been playing around with the package and found it quite intuitive and may use it for my thesis, good work.
    Also, I was wondering if there's a way to account for nested designs.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    1. Did you ever find an answer to dealing with nested designs? I have a similar question and haven't been able to track down an answer.

  3. Hey,
    I am also using your package and think it is very nice! However, I have a very huge dataset and mvabund needs a very long time for analysis. I have been wondering whether it would just be better to scale my data to sovle then mean-variable issue and then use a permanova. Is there any reason why this is not recommendable?
