qiime feature-table rarefy (version 2019.4)

--i-table: ARTIFACT FeatureTable[Frequency] The feature table to be rarefied. [required]:

--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 unless subsampling is performed with replacement. [required]:

--p-with-replacement: --p-no-with-replacement Rarefy with replacement by sampling from the multinomial distribution instead of rarefying without replacement. [default: False]:

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 unless subsampling is performed with replacement.
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.
