Effects of data transformation and model selection on feature importance in microbiome classification data by Zuzanna Karwowska, Oliver Aasmets, Estonian Biobank research team, Tomasz Kosciolek, Elin Org

“…Results Our analysis of over 8500 samples from 24 shotgun metagenomic datasets showed that it is possible to classify healthy and diseased individuals using microbiome data with minimal dependence on the choice of algorithm or transformation. Presence-absence transformations performed comparably to abundance-based transformations, and only a small subset of predictors is necessary for accurate classification. …”
