Leveraging the microbiome in host genome wide association studies by Awany, Denis

“…Philosophically, the non-parametric specification amounts to the addition of an infinite amount of prior information about all fine details of the parameters being modelled; thus represents an attractive strategy. The utility of the method is demonstrated through simulation experiments and application to real microbiome datasets for schizophrenia, HIV/AIDS, and atherosclerosis diseases, where it is shown that the method is not only robust but also has high statistical power for association inference, resulting in a framework that can contribute to our understanding of the link between the microbiome and human diseases. …”
