Use of relative abundances #33

Closed danpal96 closed 10 months ago

danpal96 commented 10 months ago

I have a table generated by the mOTUs program with relative abundances. Can I use Flashweave or FlashweaveHE with relative abundances (range 0 to 1)?

Yes, you can! CLR normalization (as used by FlashWeave) can be performed on relative abundances, albeit with a potential small loss in numerical precision.
