Test differences in taxonomic profiles using abundances #26

Closed dcdanko closed 5 years ago

Write code to compare taxonomic profiles that include relative abundance information. Relative abundance info should be considered as the probability of selecting a particular taxa in a sample and as such can be appropriately measured using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.

This should not replace the comparisons that do not use abundance information.
