A Novel Sparse Compositional Technique Reveals Microbial Perturbations
ABSTRACT The central aims of many host or environmental microbiome studies are to elucidate factors associated with microbial community compositions and to relate microbial features to outcomes. However, these aims are often complicated by difficulties stemming from high-dimensionality, non-normalit...
