Introducing TreeClimber, a test to compare microbial community structures.
The phylogenetic and ecological complexity of microbial communities necessitates the development of new methods to determine whether two or more communities have the same structure even though it is not possible to sample the communities exhaustively. To address this need, we adapted a method used in population genetics, the parsimony test, to determine the relatedness of communities. Here we d...
متن کاملIntroducing SONS, a tool for operational taxonomic unit-based comparisons of microbial community memberships and structures.
The recent advent of tools enabling statistical inferences to be drawn from comparisons of microbial communities has enabled the focus of microbial ecology to move from characterizing biodiversity to describing the distribution of that biodiversity. Although statistical tools have been developed to compare community structures across a phylogenetic tree, we lack tools to compare the memberships...
متن کاملIntegration of microbial ecology and statistics: a test to compare gene libraries.
Libraries of 16S rRNA genes provide insight into the membership of microbial communities. Statistical methods help to determine whether differences in library composition are artifacts of sampling or are due to underlying differences in the communities from which they are derived. To contribute to a growing statistical framework for comparing 16S rRNA libraries, we present a computer program, i...
متن کاملIntroducing equating methodologies to compare test scores from two different self-regulation scales.
Standardizing the measurement tools that researchers use to assess the effectiveness of interventions would strengthen our ability to compare results across studies. In practice, however, standardization is difficult to implement, in part, because researchers prefer to use measurement tools that focus specifically on the components of their interventions. This paper demonstrates the usefulness ...
متن کاملHow to Test and Compare CASE tools
This paper describes how a practical study of computerized tools for systems development could be prepared and made. The paper suggests the use of a detailed checklist combined with a description how the practical evaluation of CASE tools should be executed. The purpose is to ensure that the evaluations of different CASE tools will be made in similar ways and that results can easily be compared...
