Contains functions that allow Bayesian meta-analysis (1) with binomial data, counts(y) and total counts (n) or, (2) with user-supplied point estimates and associated variances.   Case (1) provides an analysis based on the logit transformation of the sample proportion. This methodology is also appropriate for combining data from sample surveys and related sources. The functions can  calculate the corresponding similarity matrix. More details can be found in Cahoy and Sedransk (2023), Cahoy and Sedransk (2022)  <doi:10.1007/s42519-018-0027-2>, Evans and Sedransk (2001) <doi:10.1093/biomet/88.3.643>, and Malec and Sedransk (1992) <doi:10.1093/biomet/79.3.593>.

Meta-CART integrates classification and regression trees (CART) into meta-analysis. Meta-CART is a flexible approach to identify interaction effects between moderators in meta-analysis. The method is described in Dusseldorp et al. (2014) <doi:10.1037/hea0000018> and Li et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12088>.

Clustering in metagenomics is the process of grouping of microbial contigs in species specific bins. This package contains functions that extract genomic features from metagenome data, find the number of clusters for that given data and find the best clustering algorithm for binning.

Reads, plots, and manipulates large
    taxonomic data sets, like those generated from modern high-throughput
    sequencing, such as metabarcoding (i.e. amplification metagenomics, 16S
    metagenomics, etc). It provides a tree-based visualization called "heat
    trees" used to depict statistics for every taxon in a taxonomy using
    color and size. It also provides various functions to do common tasks in
    microbiome bioinformatics on data in the 'taxmap' format defined by the
    'taxa' package. The 'metacoder' package is described in the publication
    by Foster et al. (2017) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005404>.

Functions to analyze coherence, boundary clumping, and turnover
    following the pattern-based metacommunity analysis of Leibold and Mikkelson
    2002  <doi:10.1034/j.1600-0706.2002.970210.x>. The package also includes 
		functions to visualize ecological networks, and to calculate modularity 
		as a replacement to boundary clumping.
