A Dirichlet-Multinomial Bayes Classifier for Disease Diagnosis with Microbial Compositions
ABSTRACT Dysbiosis of microbial communities is associated with various human diseases, raising the possibility of using microbial compositions as biomarkers for disease diagnosis. We have developed a Bayes classifier by modeling microbial compositions with Dirichlet-multinomial distributions, which...
