title: 'dar: Differential Abundance Analysis by Consensus'
version: 1.8.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.dar
abstract: Differential abundance testing in microbiome data challenges both parametric
  and non-parametric statistical methods, due to its sparsity, high variability and
  compositional nature. Microbiome-specific statistical methods often assume classical
  distribution models or take into account compositional specifics. These produce
  results that range within the specificity vs sensitivity space in such a way that
  type I and type II error that are difficult to ascertain in real microbiome data
  when a single method is used. Recently, a consensus approach based on multiple differential
  abundance (DA) methods was recently suggested in order to increase robustness. With
  dar, you can use dplyr-like pipeable sequences of DA methods and then apply different
  consensus strategies. In this way we can obtain more reliable results in a fast,
  consistent and reproducible way.
