Bayesian Nonparametric Longitudinal Factor Model for Microbiome Counts
面向微生物组计数的贝叶斯非参数纵向因子模型
Longitudinal microbiome studies provide important insights into the temporal evolution of microbial abundances and dynamic cross-feature dependence. Modeling longitudinal microbiome data is challenging because microbiome counts are highly heterogeneous and zero-inflated, and, moreover, repeated measurements induce within-subject temporal dependence and possibly time-varying cross-feature covariance. To address these challenges, we develop a flexible Bayesian longitudinal…
