Usage: qiime feature-table rarefy [OPTIONS]

  Subsample frequencies from all samples so that the sum of frequencies in
  each sample is equal to sampling-depth.

Inputs:
  --i-table ARTIFACT FeatureTable[Frequency]
                       The feature table to be rarefied.            [required]
Parameters:
  --p-sampling-depth INTEGER
    Range(1, None)     The total frequency that each sample should be
                       rarefied to. Samples where the sum of frequencies is
                       less than the sampling depth will be not be included in
                       the resulting table.                         [required]
  --p-with-replacement / --p-no-with-replacement
                       Rarefy with replacement by sampling from the
                       multinomial distribution instead of rarefying without
                       replacement.                           [default: False]
Outputs:
  --o-rarefied-table ARTIFACT FeatureTable[Frequency]
                       The resulting rarefied feature table.        [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.

Rarefy table

Subsample frequencies from all samples so that the sum of frequencies in
each sample is equal to sampling-depth.

Parameters
----------
table : FeatureTable[Frequency]
    The feature table to be rarefied.
sampling_depth : Int % Range(1, None)
    The total frequency that each sample should be rarefied to. Samples
    where the sum of frequencies is less than the sampling depth will be
    not be included in the resulting table.
with_replacement : Bool, optional
    Rarefy with replacement by sampling from the multinomial distribution
    instead of rarefying without replacement.

Returns
-------
rarefied_table : FeatureTable[Frequency]
    The resulting rarefied feature table.
