My Problem is, that I want to compare seven groups, which have the discrete values from 0 to 3. These are damageclasses of plants. 0 is best and 3 is worst. Every group has 4 replications with 2 plants. The two plants were together in a cage with animals. I think the problem is that the two plants are not independent from each other. I don't know which test I can use for this problem. I thought the chisquare test but I can't find it for more than two groups and I don't know how I should consider the dependence between the two plants of every replication. I want to find out if there are significantly differences between the groups. I hope someone could help me.
