For the model in MaAsLin2, what is the syntax (if supported) for specifying nesting of one factor within another?
E.g., in a field experiment that moved between years, blocks only exist within a given year.
Hi @matt-bakker
You could most likely support your nested experiment using random effects that match up with your study design. That being said there is currently no way of inputting specific “nested” variables other then using appropriately designed random effects.
