US 2020/0286623 A1 · MICROORGANISM-RELATED SIGNIFICANCE INDEX METRICS

Abstract

Embodiments of a method and/or system, such as for characterizing at least one microorganism-related condition, can include: determining a set of associations (e.g., positive associations such as positive correlations, negative associations such as negative correlations, non-associations such as no correlation or minimal correlation, etc.) between a set of microorganism taxa and at least one microorganism-related condition; determining a set of reference features (e.g., reference abundance ranges, etc.) for the set of microorganism taxa; and determining one or more significance index metrics based on the set of associations and the set of reference features.

Dependent claims

A method for characterizing at least one microorganism-related condition, the method comprising:

determining a set of associations between a set of microorganism taxa and the at least one microorganism-related condition, wherein the set of associations comprises at least one of positive associations, negative associations, and non-associations;
determining a set of reference abundance ranges for the set of microorganism taxa, wherein the reference abundance ranges are associated with the at least one microorganism-related condition;
and
determining a significance index metric associated with characterization of the set of associations between the set of microorganism taxa and the at least one microorganism-related condition, based on the set of associations and the reference abundance ranges for the set of microorganism taxa.
