#' @title Simple statistical analysis of metagenomic profiles
#'
#' @description
#' Perform simple statistical analysis of metagenomic profiles. This function
#' is a wrapper of `run_test_two_groups` and `run_test_multiple_groups`.
#'
#' @param ps a [`phyloseq::phyloseq-class`] object
#' @param group character, the variable to set the group
#' @param taxa_rank character to specify taxonomic rank to perform
#'   differential analysis on. Should be one of
#'   `phyloseq::rank_names(phyloseq)`, or "all" means to summarize the taxa by
#'   the top taxa ranks (`summarize_taxa(ps, level = rank_names(ps)[1])`), or
#'   "none" means perform differential analysis on the original taxa
#'   (`taxa_names(phyloseq)`, e.g., OTU or ASV).
#' @param transform character, the methods used to transform the microbial
#'   abundance. See [`transform_abundances()`] for more details. The
#'   options include:
#'   * "identity", return the original data without any transformation
#'     (default).
#'   * "log10", the transformation is `log10(object)`, and if the data contains
#'     zeros the transformation is `log10(1 + object)`.
#'   * "log10p", the transformation is `log10(1 + object)`.
#'   * "SquareRoot", the transformation is `Square Root`.
#'   * "CubicRoot", the transformation is `Cubic Root`.
#'   * "logit", the transformation is `Zero-inflated Logit Transformation`
#' (Does not work well for microbiome data).
#' @param norm the methods used to normalize the microbial abundance data. See
#'   [`normalize()`] for more details.
#'   Options include:
#'   * "none": do not normalize.
#'   * "rarefy": random subsampling counts to the smallest library size in the
#'     data set.
#'   * "TSS": total sum scaling, also referred to as "relative abundance", the
#'     abundances were normalized by dividing the corresponding sample library
#'     size.
#'   * "TMM": trimmed mean of m-values. First, a sample is chosen as reference.
#'     The scaling factor is then derived using a weighted trimmed mean over the
#'     differences of the log-transformed gene-count fold-change between the
#'     sample and the reference.
#'   * "RLE", relative log expression, RLE uses a pseudo-reference calculated
#'     using the geometric mean of the gene-specific abundances over all
#'     samples. The scaling factors are then calculated as the median of the
#'     gene counts ratios between the samples and the reference.
#'   * "CSS": cumulative sum scaling, calculates scaling factors as the
#'     cumulative sum of gene abundances up to a data-derived threshold.
#'   * "CLR": centered log-ratio normalization.
#'   * "CPM": pre-sample normalization of the sum of the values to 1e+06.
#' @param norm_para arguments passed to specific normalization methods
#' @param method test method, options include: "welch.test", "t.test" and
#'   "white.test" for two groups comparison,  "anova"and "kruskal" for multiple
#'   groups comparison.
#' @param p_adjust method for multiple test correction, default `none`,
#'   for more details see [stats::p.adjust].
#' @param pvalue_cutoff numeric, p value cutoff, default 0.05
#' @param diff_mean_cutoff,ratio_cutoff only used for two groups comparison,
#'   cutoff of different means and ratios, default `NULL` which means no effect
#'   size filter.
#' @param eta_squared_cutoff only used for multiple groups comparison, numeric,
#'   cutoff of effect size (eta squared) default `NULL` which means no effect
#'   size filter.
#' @param conf_level only used for two groups comparison, numeric, confidence
#'   level of interval.
#' @param nperm integer, only used for two groups comparison, number of
#'   permutations for white non parametric t test estimation
#' @param ... only used for two groups comparison, extra arguments passed to
#' [`t.test()`] or [`fisher.test()`].
#' @return a [`microbiomeMarker-class`] object.
#' @seealso [`run_test_two_groups()`],[`run_test_multiple_groups()`]
