Hi Jakob and siamcat devs,

Thanks for creating such a nice and useful tool for the scientific community!

I was wondering if you had any tips on how to train and test models in siamcat using only metadata features (no microbiome features)?

Thanks

I managed to run models with metadata alone, by adding them and then filtering out species abundances.
