Description Details Author(s)

Description

Dirichlet-multinomial mixture models can be used to describe variability in microbial metagenomic data. This package is an interface to code originally made available by Holmes, Harris, and Qunice, 2012, PLoS ONE 7(2): 1-15.

Details

The estimation routine is from the LGPL-licensed (as stated on the corresponding googlecode page) source http://microbedmm.googlecode.com/files/MicrobeDMMv1.0.tar.gz, retrieved 17 Feburary 2012.

The algorithm is described in Holmes I, Harris K, Quince C, 2012 Dirichlet Multinomial Mixtures: Generative Models for Microbial Metagenomics. PLoS ONE 7(2): e30126. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0030126.
