alpha-phylogenetic: Alpha diversity (phylogenetic)¶
Docstring:
Usage: qiime diversity alpha-phylogenetic [OPTIONS]
Computes a user-specified phylogenetic alpha diversity metric for all
samples in a feature table.
Inputs:
--i-table ARTIFACT FeatureTable[Frequency | RelativeFrequency |
PresenceAbsence] The feature table containing the samples for which
alpha diversity should be computed. [required]
--i-phylogeny ARTIFACT Phylogenetic tree containing tip identifiers that
Phylogeny[Rooted] correspond to the feature identifiers in the table.
This tree can contain tip ids that are not present
in the table, but all feature ids in the table must
be present in this tree. [required]
Parameters:
--p-metric TEXT The alpha diversity metric to be computed.
Choices('faith_pd') [required]
Outputs:
--o-alpha-diversity ARTIFACT SampleData[AlphaDiversity]
Vector containing per-sample alpha diversities.
[required]
Miscellaneous:
--output-dir PATH Output unspecified results to a directory
--verbose / --quiet Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr
during execution of this action. Or silence output
if execution is successful (silence is golden).
--recycle-pool TEXT Use a cache pool for pipeline resumption. QIIME 2
will cache your results in this pool for reuse by
future invocations. These pool are retained until
deleted by the user. If not provided, QIIME 2 will
create a pool which is automatically reused by
invocations of the same action and removed if the
action is successful. Note: these pools are local to
the cache you are using.
--no-recycle Do not recycle results from a previous failed
pipeline run or save the results from this run for
future recycling.
--parallel Execute your action in parallel. This flag will use
your default parallel config.
--parallel-config FILE Execute your action in parallel using a config at
the indicated path.
--example-data PATH Write example data and exit.
--citations Show citations and exit.
--use-cache DIRECTORY Specify the cache to be used for the intermediate
work of this action. If not provided, the default
cache under $TMP/qiime2/ will be used.
IMPORTANT FOR HPC USERS: If you are on an HPC system
and are using parallel execution it is important to
set this to a location that is globally accessible
to all nodes in the cluster.
--help Show this message and exit.

Alpha diversity (phylogenetic)
Computes a user-specified phylogenetic alpha diversity metric for all
samples in a feature table.
Parameters
----------
table : FeatureTable[Frequency | RelativeFrequency | PresenceAbsence]
The feature table containing the samples for which alpha diversity
should be computed.
phylogeny : Phylogeny[Rooted]
Phylogenetic tree containing tip identifiers that correspond to the
feature identifiers in the table. This tree can contain tip ids that
are not present in the table, but all feature ids in the table must be
present in this tree.
metric : Str % Choices('faith_pd')
The alpha diversity metric to be computed.
Returns
-------
alpha_diversity : SampleData[AlphaDiversity]
Vector containing per-sample alpha diversities.
