Hello everyone,
I was wondering if a detailed description of qiime2 feature-table semantic types exists? I found this repo which lacks any explanation
More specifically I would like to read about the difference between
FeatureTable[Composition] and FeatureTable[Frequency]
I assume that the first one represents the relative abundances when the second one represents actual counts. So, if we fit raw microbiome data it is FeatureTable[Composition] due to the compositional nature of microbiome data itself, and if we apply any sort of transformation, e.g., CLR then it becomes FeatureTable[Frequency]. That's how I understand it, but would like to verify:)
Thank you!
