Leveraging the microbiome in host genome wide association studies
… to model microbial taxa effects, and a non-parametrically defined latent variable to model latent heterogeneity among samples. Philosophically, the non-parametric specification amounts to the addition of an infinite amount of prior information about all fine details of the parameters being …
