NAME
format_input - determine features of organisms, clades, taxonomic units, genes
SYNOPSIS
format_input [-h] [--output_table OUTPUT_TABLE] [-f {c,r}] [-c [1..n_feats]] [-s [1..n_feats]] [-o float]
[-u [1..n_feats]] [-m {f,s}] [-n int] [-biom_c BIOM_CLASS] [-biom_s BIOM_SUBCLASS] INPUT_FILE OUTPUT_FILE
DESCRIPTION
LEfSe formatting modules
OPTIONS
positional arguments:
INPUT_FILE
the input file, feature hierarchical level can be specified with | or . and those symbols must not
be present for other reasons in the input file.
OUTPUT_FILE
the output file containing the data for LEfSe
optional arguments:
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
--output_table OUTPUT_TABLE
the formatted table in txt format
-f {c,r}
set whether the features are on rows (default) or on columns
-c [1..n_feats]
set which feature use as class (default 1)
-s [1..n_feats]
set which feature use as subclass (default -1 meaning no subclass)
-o float
set the normalization value (default -1.0 meaning no normalization)
-u [1..n_feats]
set which feature use as subject (default -1 meaning no subject)
-m {f,s}
set the policy to adopt with missin values: f removes the features with missing values, s removes
samples with missing values (default f)
-n int set the minimum cardinality of each subclass (subclasses with low cardinalities will be grouped
together, if the cardinality is still low, no pairwise comparison will be performed with them)
-biom_c BIOM_CLASS
For biom input files: Set which feature use as class
-biom_s BIOM_SUBCLASS
For biom input files: set which feature use as subclass
