abstract: 'Starting from a microbiome dataset (16S or WMS with absolute count values)
  it is possible to perform several analysis to assess the performances of many differential
  abundance detection methods. A basic and standardized version of the main differential
  abundance analysis methods is supplied but the user can also add his method to the
  benchmark. The analyses focus on 4 main aspects: i) the goodness of fit of each
  method''s distributional assumptions on the observed count data, ii) the ability
  to control the false discovery rate, iii) the within and between method concordances,
  iv) the truthfulness of the findings if any apriori knowledge is given. Several
  graphical functions are available for result visualization.'
