Docstring:
Usage: qiime longitudinal nmit [OPTIONS]
Perform nonparametric microbial interdependence test to determine
longitudinal sample similarity as a function of temporal microbial
composition. For more details and citation, please see
doi.org/10.1002/gepi.22065
Inputs:
--i-table ARTIFACT FeatureTable[RelativeFrequency]
Feature table to use for microbial interdependence
test. [required]
Parameters:
--m-metadata-file METADATA...
(multiple Sample metadata file containing
arguments will be individual-id-column.
merged) [required]
--p-individual-id-column TEXT
Metadata column containing IDs for individual
subjects. [required]
--p-corr-method TEXT Choices('kendall', 'pearson', 'spearman')
The temporal correlation test to be applied.
[default: 'kendall']
--p-dist-method TEXT Choices('fro', 'nuc')
Temporal distance method, see numpy.linalg.norm for
details. [default: 'fro']
Outputs:
--o-distance-matrix ARTIFACT
DistanceMatrix The resulting distance matrix. [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).
--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.
