Usage: qiime metadata distance-matrix [OPTIONS]
Create a distance matrix from a numeric metadata column. The Euclidean
distance is computed between each pair of samples or features in the column.
Tip: the distance matrix produced by this method can be used as input to the
Mantel test available in `q2-diversity`.
Parameters:
--m-metadata-file METADATA
--m-metadata-column COLUMN MetadataColumn[Numeric]
Numeric metadata column to compute pairwise Euclidean
distances from [required]
Outputs:
--o-distance-matrix ARTIFACT
DistanceMatrix [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.
Import:
from qiime2.plugins.metadata.methods import distance_matrix
