In leffj/mctoolsr: Microbial Community Data Analysis Tools

Calculate a dissimilarity matrix from a taxa table

Description

The default is to calculate Bray-Curtis dissimilarities after performing square-root transformations on the data. Send requests to add additional metrics.

Usage

calc_dm(tax_table, method = "bray_sq_trans")

Arguments

tax_table	The taxa table.
method	The method to use to calculate the dissimilarity metric. Available methods include: 'bray_sq_trans', 'bray', 'jaccard', 'sorensen'. Jaccard converts data to presence/absence before calculating dissimilarity. Sorensen is the presence/absence version of bray.

Value

A variable of class dist.

Examples

dm = calc_dm(fruits_veggies$data_loaded, method = "bray_sq_trans")
