Dirichlet-multinomial modelling outperforms alternatives for analysis of microbiome and other ecological count data

2019-07-22

Abstract excerpt

Molecular ecology regularly requires the analysis of count data that reflect the relative abundance of features of a composition (e.g., taxa in a community, gene transcripts in a tissue). The sampling process that generates these data can be modeled using the multinomial distribution. Replicate multinomial samples inform the relative abundances of features in an underlying Dirichlet distribution. These distributio...
