A strategy for differential abundance analysis of sparse microbiome data with group-wise structured zeros

Abstract excerpt

Comparing the abundance of microbial communities between different groups or obtained under different experimental conditions using count sequence data is a challenging task due to various issues such as inflated zero counts, overdispersion, and non-normality. Several methods and procedures based on counts, their transformation and compositionality have been proposed in the literature to detect differentially...
