Simplicial Ordinary Least Squares Regression
Perform linear regression on balances. This will tell youhow much
variability is explained by metadata categories in your formula.
Parameters
- table : FeatureTable[Balance]
- The feature table containing the samples in which simplicial regression
will be performed.
- tree : Hierarchy
- A hierarchy of feature identifiers where each tipcorresponds to the
feature identifiers in the table. This tree can contain tip ids that
are not present in the table, but all feature ids in the table must be
present in this tree.
- metadata : Metadata
- Metadata information that contains the covariates of interest.
- formula : Str
- Formula specifying the statistical model. In other words, a list of the
metadata categories that will be used in the regression model,
typically separated by "+". For more information see
