Hi, can someone please let me know what classification method is used by sklearn classifier - open, closed, or denovo?
Hi Pratyusha,
open, closed, or denovo
These are all methods for making OTUs.
sklearn does not make OTUs, it just labels taxonomy to sequences. It's a different step in the process...
From the Overview tutorial
The sklearn classifiers do use a reference database, but in a totally different way then those three old clustering methods.
Check out the Overview tutorial and let us know if you have more questions about this process!
