Meaning of community parameters in config file #176

Closed CassandraHjo closed 11 months ago

CassandraHjo commented 1 year ago

Do these parameters in the config file affect the results from the simulation when running differential abundance mode? Or only when running replicates mode?

gauss_mu=1
gauss_sigma=1

These parameters only change the distribution in the replicates mode, in the differential abundance mode all the abundances are drawn from the lognormal distribution (defined with log_mu and log_sigma)
