Possibly the worst #crime perpetuated by a #mathematics and #computerscience university degree is teaching that #statistics is boring.

Studying #psychology taught me that #factoranalysis and #ANOVA are super neat.

Today, I've been looking at and implemented rank-biased overlap (and distance) and #PERMANOVA (permutational ANOVA) to compare groups' (partial) rankings of preferences. The computer scientist in me is horrified, no longer at the statistics, but at the computational complexity.

Sooo… weird question. Is anybody aware of a good #statistics package for #Java (or callable from Java, so #Scala, #Kotlin, or other #JVM languages) that supports #PERMANOVA?

Or a way to run #R from Java? #Renjin or #JRI (part of #rJava)? adonis/adonis2 supposedly supports PERMANOVA.

Here we analyze the impact of #facies, #region, #taxonomy, and #collection style over #size #distributions using diameter as a proxy of Late #Devonian #ammonoids in their entirety using non-metric #multidimensional #scaling and #PERMANOVA based on #Kolmogorov distance.
