Look for the altered feature associations responsible for the significant Non-parametric microbial interdependence test?

Hi @11131,

@11131

Do you have any advances for this longitudinal analysis to screen the microbes that response to the dietary intervention and responsible for the microbial ecological alteration?

Only the methods in q2-longitudinal, e.g., as we've already discussed here:

Easy way to perform the linear-mixed-effects analysis on the important features from the Feature volatility analysis?

Hi, I just finished the Feature volatility analysis, and I'm trying to perform the Linear mixed effect models analysis on the important features from the Feature volatility analysis. However, the important features form the filtered-table could be as many as more than 10, making it fussy and repetitive when I use the --p-metric parameter in the qiime longitudinal linear-mixed-effects because only one feature could be analyzed at a time. I know a loop could solve this problem. But it's still sti…

Beyond that I recommend checking the literature if these methods do not match your goals, or you could open a "general discussion" topic on this forum to see if other forum users have some advice to address your specific research question.

Good luck!
