Chen, Y. (STAT) – Flexible Bayesian Models for High-Dimensional and Longitudinal Discrete Data in Microbiome Studies
Multivariate dependent discrete data routinely arise in microbiome studies. Analyzing these data presents interesting statistical challenges, such as high dimensionality, excess zeros, large heterogeneity across samples, and temporal dependence in longitudinal studies. Drawing inferences about objects of primary scientific interest—such as temporal trajectories of microbial abundance, microbial interactions, clusters of microbes similarly associated with environmental […]
