radEmu: Using Relative Abundance Data to Estimate of Multiplicative Differences in Mean Absolute Abundance

A differential abundance method for the analysis of microbiome data. 'radEmu' estimates fold-differences in the abundance of taxa across samples relative to "typical" fold-differences. Notably, it does not require pseudocounts, nor choosing a denominator taxon. For more details, see Clausen et al. (2026) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asag009>.
