Confounder-free Predictive Models for Microbiome-based Host Phenotype Prediction
2025-02-02
Abstract excerpt
As in many fields, the presence of confounding effects (or biases) presents a significant challenge in micro-biome research, including using microbiome data to predict host phenotypes. If not properly addressed, confounders can lead to spurious associations, biased predictions and misleading interpretations.
