I asked a question here how can i see if my data are coming from two different population? and seems like I cannot correctly communicate and the person who is writing to me is making me confused.
So I try to explain what I want , if you know any method, please just tell me the method, I will try to do it myself.
I have two groups
Group A with n number of samples
Group B with m number of samples
The measurements have replicate
I want to see if the Group A is different from Group B.
for example by the mean, or whatever else which makes statistically different or not different.
Is there someone who can really guide me what to do?
Many thanks
Nik
