Shared Species Analysis, Augmented by Stochasticity Analysis, Is More Effective Than Diversity Analysis in Detecting Variations in the Gut Microbiomes
Diversity analysis is a de facto standard procedure for most existing microbiome studies. Nevertheless, diversity metrics can be insensitive to changes in community composition (identities). For example, if species A (e.g., a beneficial microbe) is replaced by equal number of species B (e.g., an opp...
