HT-MMIOW: A Hypothesis Test approach for Microbiome Mediation using Inverse Odds Weighting [PDF]
The human microbiome has an important role in determining health. Mediation analyses quantify the contribution of the microbiome in the causal path between exposure and disease; however, current mediation models cannot fully capture the high dimensional, correlated, and compositional nature of microbiome data and do not typically accommodate ...

Variable selection for sparse Dirichlet-multinomial regression with an application to microbiome data analysis [PDF]
With the development of next generation sequencing technology, researchers have now been able to study the microbiome composition using direct sequencing, whose output are bacterial taxa counts for each microbiome sample. One goal of microbiome study is to associate the microbiome composition with environmental covariates.
