Description: Differential abundance testing in microbiome data
        challenges both parametric and non-parametric statistical
        methods, due to its sparsity, high variability and
        compositional nature. Microbiome-specific statistical methods
        often assume classical distribution models or take into account
        compositional specifics. These produce results that range
        within the specificity vs sensitivity space in such a way that
        type I and type II error that are difficult to ascertain in
        real microbiome data when a single method is used. Recently, a
        consensus approach based on multiple differential abundance
        (DA) methods was recently suggested in order to increase
        robustness. With dar, you can use dplyr-like pipeable sequences
        of DA methods and then apply different consensus strategies. In
        this way we can obtain more reliable results in a fast,
        consistent and reproducible way.
