Breakaway returns multiple models in a single dataset #98

Hi Amy,

I've used breakaway on phyloseq object and wanted to check the model, ba$model but found it return NULL

I wrote out a table and saw that my data are actually a mixture of models, mostly Neg Binomial, but some Kemp and few Poisson. Assuming breakaway acts independently on each sample, is it suspicious that there are multiple models in a single dataset? Is there an interpretation to be had here regarding the data structure?

Also, does this affect downstream betta() ? Or is error just error and missing data is just missing data at that point?
