Collapse features by their taxonomy at the specified level
Collapse groups of features that have the same taxonomic assignment through
the specified level. The frequencies of all features will be summed when
they are collapsed.
Parameters
- table : FeatureTable[Frequency]
- Feature table to be collapsed.
- taxonomy : FeatureData[Taxonomy]
- Taxonomic annotations for features in the provided feature table. All
features in the feature table must have a corresponding taxonomic
annotation. Taxonomic annotations that are not present in the feature
table will be ignored.
- level : Int
- The taxonomic level at which the features should be collapsed. All
ouput features will have exactly this many levels of taxonomic
annotation.
Returns
- collapsed_table : FeatureTable[Frequency]
- The resulting feature table, where all features are now taxonomic
annotations with the user-specified number of levels.
