FinfoMDS

FinfoMDS implements a multidimensional scaling-based ordination method that configures data distribution based on the F-statistic (i.e., the ratio of dispersion between groups with shared or differing labels) for microbiome visualization.

Key Features:

• F-informed ordination: Configures data distribution using the F-statistic as the ratio of dispersion between groups with shared or differing labels.
• Multidimensional scaling integration: Employs MDS as the underlying ordination framework for dimensionality reduction and visualization.

Scientific Applications:

• Microbiome visualization: Generates ordination plots for exploring patterns in microbiome data based on group dispersion structure.

Methodology:

Multidimensional scaling configured by the F-statistic, calculated as the ratio of dispersion between groups with shared or differing labels.
