Bayesian Hierarchical Compositional Models for Analysing Longitudinal Abundance Data from Microbiome Studies

Table 3

Estimated parameters and credible interval obtained by applying the proposed model to the female dataset at family taxonomic level. The table also contains the percentage of influence that each has on each family and the percentage of sway that each family has on the bacterial community is represented in bold.
