Calculate a sample-wise beta diversity distance matrix from a microbiome_dataset.

Usage

calculate_beta_diversity(object, method = c("bray", "jaccard", "euclidean"))

Arguments

object

A microbiome_dataset object.

method

Distance method.

Value

A microbiome_diversity object.

Examples

data("global_patterns", package = "microbiomedataset")

x <- calculate_beta_diversity(global_patterns, method = "bray")
class(x)
#> [1] "microbiome_diversity"
#> attr(,"package")
#> [1] "microbiomedataset"
dim(as.matrix(x@result))
#> [1] 26 26
