Composite quantile regression approach to batch effect correction in microbiome data by Jiwon Park, Taesung Park

“…Additionally, to handle nonsystematic batch effects, we employ composite quantile regression. By adjusting the distribution of OTUs to be similar based on a reference batch selected using the Kruskal-Walis test method, we consider the variability at the OTU level.ResultsThe performance of the model is evaluated and compared with existing methods using PERMANOVA R-squared values, Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) plots and Average Silhouette Coefficient calculated with diverse distance-based metrics. …”
