Usage: qiime feature-table group [OPTIONS]
Group samples or features in a feature table using metadata to define the
mapping of IDs to a group.
Inputs:
--i-table ARTIFACT FeatureTable[Frequency]
The table to group samples or features on. [required]
Parameters:
--p-axis TEXT Choices('feature', 'sample')
Along which axis to group. Each ID in the given axis
must exist in `metadata`. [required]
--m-metadata-file METADATA
--m-metadata-column COLUMN MetadataColumn[Categorical]
A column defining the groups. Each unique value will
become a new ID for the table on the given `axis`.
[required]
--p-mode TEXT Choices('mean-ceiling', 'median-ceiling', 'sum')
How to combine samples or features within a group.
`sum` will sum the frequencies across all samples or
features within a group; `mean-ceiling` will take the
ceiling of the mean of these frequencies;
`median-ceiling` will take the ceiling of the median of
these frequencies. [required]
Outputs:
--o-grouped-table ARTIFACT FeatureTable[Frequency]
A table that has been grouped along the given `axis`.
IDs on that axis are replaced by values in the
`metadata` column. [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.
--help Show this message and exit.
Examples:
# ### example: group samples
# Combine samples from the same body-site into single sample. Feature
# frequencies will be the median across the samples being combined, rounded
# up to the nearest whole number.

Group samples or features by a metadata column
Group samples or features in a feature table using metadata to define the
mapping of IDs to a group.
Parameters
----------
table : FeatureTable[Frequency]
The table to group samples or features on.
axis : Str % Choices('feature', 'sample')
Along which axis to group. Each ID in the given axis must exist in
`metadata`.
metadata : MetadataColumn[Categorical]
A column defining the groups. Each unique value will become a new ID
for the table on the given `axis`.
mode : Str % Choices('mean-ceiling', 'median-ceiling', 'sum')
How to combine samples or features within a group. `sum` will sum the
frequencies across all samples or features within a group; `mean-
ceiling` will take the ceiling of the mean of these frequencies;
`median-ceiling` will take the ceiling of the median of these
frequencies.
Returns
-------
grouped_table : FeatureTable[Frequency]
A table that has been grouped along the given `axis`. IDs on that axis
are replaced by values in the `metadata` column.
