Hello there ,
I would just like to confirm whether I should be setting participant ID as a categorical variable to use it as a random effect in Maaslin? I have 160 participants with info at 3 time points. When I checked the example input info on Maasin2 tutorial it was set as character so I wasn’t sure. Many thanks, Katherine
Yes - I would set it to a categorical/factor variable.
