gramm4R

We designed and developed a new strategy, Generalized coRrelation analysis for Metabolome and Microbiome (GRaMM), for inter-correlation pairs discovery among metabolome and microbiome. GRaMM gives considerations to the different characteristics of omics data, the effect of covariates, and the balance of linear and nonlinear correlations, by integrating the classical linear regression, the newly reported maximum information coefficient (MIC), and the centered log-ratio transformation (CLR) algorithms.

4 functions of the package of gramm4R: Gramm ,naiveGramm, nlfitGramm ,preGramm

Install the latest version of this package by entering the following in R: if (!requireNamespace(“BiocManager”, quietly = TRUE)) install.packages(“BiocManager”) BiocManager::install(“gramm4R”)

`preGramm`: A function to reproccess the input data of metabolome and microbiome. Missing values may be imputed and filled. Metabolome data and microbiomedata may be normalized and transformed by logarithm transformation and centered log-ratio (CLR) algorithm.
