LOCOM2: A Logistic Regression Model for Testing Microbial Differential Abundance

Testing differential abundance at individual taxa and in a whole microbial community. The tests are based on the log-ratio of relative abundances. The tests accommodate continuous, discrete (binary, categorical), and multivariate traits, and allow adjustment of confounders. For more details see He (2026) <doi:10.64898/2026.04.07.716976>.
