MicrobiomeStat: Statistical Methods for Microbiome Compositional Data

A suite of methods for powerful and robust microbiome data analysis addressing zero-inflation, phylogenetic structure and compositional effects. Includes the LinDA method for differential abundance analysis (Zhou et al. (2022)<doi:10.1186/s13059-022-02655-5>), the BMDD (Bimodal Dirichlet Distribution) method for accurate modeling and imputation of zero-inflated microbiome sequencing data (Zhou et al. (2025)<doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1013124>) and compositional sparse CCA methods for microbiome multi-omics data integration (Deng et al. (2024) <doi:10.3389/fgene.2024.1489694>).
