CalculateGroupBetaDistance

This function calculates the beta diversity distance between a reference group and other groups in the metadata.

Usage

CalculateGroupBetaDistance(mmo, beta_div, reference_group, groups)

Arguments

mmo

The mmo object containing feature data and metadata

beta_div

The beta diversity distance matrix, output of GetBetaDiversity()

reference_group

The name of the reference group to compare against

groups

A vector of group names from the metadata to calculate distances for

Value

A data frame containing the group names, sample names, and their corresponding beta diversity distances from the reference group.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
beta_diversity <- GetBetaDiversity(mmo, method = 'Gen.Uni', 
 normalization = 'None', distance = 'dreams', filter_feature = FALSE)
group_distances <- CalculateGroupBetaDistance(mmo, beta_div = beta_diversity, 
 reference_group = 'Control', groups = c('Control', 'Treatment1', 'Treatment2'))
}
