Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham have developed Bayesian Compositional Models for Ordinal Response, a method for analyzing data with compositional predictors and an ordinal response. Compositional data refers to data where the sum of predictors for each sample is fixed, such as the relative abundance of species in microbiome data. The proposed method outperformed existing methods in terms of parameter estimation and prediction, and was applied to a microbiome study to identify microorganisms linked to inflammatory bowel disease levels. The code and data used in the study are available for reproducibility. [Extracted from the article]
