Normality test for relative abundance data #147

Closed khemlalnirmalkar closed 4 years ago

khemlalnirmalkar commented 4 years ago

Hi @mortonjt ,

Do we need to do normality tests of bacteria/pathways (relative abundance)? if yes/no why?

My apologies, the question is not related to mmvec, but I realized you are very good in statistics. I thought, your expertise can help me to solve this confusion. Thanks, Khem

No, microbiome data is not normal

do you mean the distribution of microbiota data is not normal?

mortonjt commented 4 years ago

yes.

Its best to report these types of questions on the qiime2 forums -- this issue tracker is reserved for issues running MMvec.
