Multidimensional scaling informed by F-statistic: Visualizing grouped microbiome data with inference

Fig 7

Multi-class data is discriminated based on statistical inference.

Comparison of metric MDS and F-informed MDS () visualizations using a four-dimensional, three-class simulated dataset. Each dataset group follows normal distribution with the same covariance but different means (S9 Fig). Ellipses of respective colors are drawn with a confidence level of 0.68. Semisynthetic dataset of N = 75 was generated (see the section “Semisynthetic data” of the Methods.).
