# ANCOMBC
ANCOMBC is a package containing differential abundance (DA) and correlation
analyses for microbiome data. Specifically, the package includes
Analysis of Compositions of Microbiomes with Bias Correction 2 (ANCOM-BC2, manuscript in preparation),
Analysis of Compositions of Microbiomes with Bias Correction ([ANCOM-BC](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17041-7)), and
Analysis of Composition of Microbiomes ([ANCOM](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3402/mehd.v26.27663)) for DA analysis, and Sparse
Estimation of Correlations among Microbiomes ([SECOM](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-32243-x)) for correlation
analysis. Microbiome data are typically subject to two sources of biases:
unequal sampling fractions (sample-specific biases) and differential
sequencing efficiencies (taxon-specific biases). Methodologies included in
the ANCOMBC package are designed to correct these biases and construct
statistically consistent estimators.
