microSTASIS

Microbiota STability ASsessment via Iterative cluStering

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.12.0

The toolkit 'µSTASIS', or microSTASIS, has been developed for the stability analysis of microbiota in a temporal framework by leveraging on iterative clustering. Concretely, the core function uses Hartigan-Wong k-means algorithm as many times as possible for stressing out paired samples from the same individuals to test if they remain together for multiple numbers of clusters over a whole data set of individuals. Moreover, the package includes multiple functions to subset samples from paired times, validate the results or visualize the output.
