A Bayesian method for detecting pairwise associations in compositional data
Fig 5
BAnOCC association networks from the Human Microbiome Project.
The association networks inferred from three HMP body sites: stool (A), buccal mucosa (B), and posterior fornix (C). Using four chains with a minimum of 5000 iterations, we ran BAnOCC until convergence (see details in S3 Text). Only significant correlations stronger than 0.15 are shown (see S1 Table, S2 Table and S3 Table). The GLASSO prior results in sparse networks for these datasets, highlighting individual associations between taxa.
