Distance-based tests of microbiome beta diversity are an integral part of many microbiome analyses. MiRKAT enables distance-based association testing with a wide variety of outcome types, including continuous, binary, censored time-to-event, multivariate, correlated and high-dimensional outcomes. Omnibus tests allow simultaneous consideration of multiple distance and dissimilarity measures, providing higher power across a range of simulation scenarios. Two measures of effect size, a modified R-squared coefficient and a kernel RV coefficient, are incorporated to allow comparison of effect sizes across multiple kernels.
MiRKAT is available on CRAN as an R package.
Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
基于距离的微生物组β多样性检验是许多微生物组分析的一个组成部分。MiRKAT 支持与各种结果类型(包括连续型、二分类型、删失时间事件型、多变量型、相关型和高维型)的基于距离的关联检验。整体检验允许同时考虑多种距离和不相似性度量,在一系列模拟场景中提供更高的功效。两个效应大小度量,一个修正的 R 平方系数和一个核随机变量系数,被合并以允许在多个核之间比较效应大小。
MiRKAT 作为一个 R 包在 CRAN 上可用。
