A Zero-Inflated Logistic Normal Multinomial Model for Extracting Microbial Compositions
用于提取微生物组成的零膨胀逻辑正态多项模型
High throughput sequencing data collected to study the microbiome provide information in the form of relative abundances and should be treated as compositions. Although many approaches including scaling and rarefaction have been proposed for converting raw count data into microbial compositions, most of these methods simply return zero values for zero counts. However, zeros can distort downstream analyses, and they can also pose problems for composition-aware methods. This…
