STAMP is a graphical software package that provides statistical hypothesis tests and
exploratory plots for analysing taxonomic and functional profiles. It supports tests for
comparing pairs of samples or samples organized into two or more treatment groups. Effect
sizes and confidence intervals are provided to allow critical assessment of the biological
relevancy of test results. A user-friendly graphical interface permits easy exploration of
statistical results and generation of publication-quality plots. Availability and implementation …
Abstract
Summary: STAMP is a graphical software package that provides statistical hypothesis tests and exploratory plots for analysing taxonomic and functional profiles. It supports tests for comparing pairs of samples or samples organized into two or more treatment groups. Effect sizes and confidence intervals are provided to allow critical assessment of the biological relevancy of test results. A user-friendly graphical interface permits easy exploration of statistical results and generation of publication-quality plots.
