Investigation of Red Meat Production in Turkey by ANOM Test

When comparing more than two groups means, the analysis of means (ANOM) can be used as an alternative to the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) F test. The ANOM provides a “confidence interval type of approach” that allows it to determine which, if any, of the x groups has a significantly different mean from the overall average of all the group means combined. The aim of this study was to show the application of a statistical technique (ANOM), mostly used by agriculture, to determine differences between red meat production by period in Turkey. The production quantities of goat meat, mutton, buffalo meat and beef between the years 2010 and 2016 according to the period were taken from Turkish Statistical Institute (TSI). As a result, the difference between meat productions was found to be significant.
