NMDS
Performs non-metric multidimensional scaling at the selected taxonomic level NMDS tries to represent the original data in a 2D reduced dimensional space. This analysis utilizes the scikit-learn package
Used For
Visualizing the similarity between different samples (collapsing information into two components)
Visualization Parameters
Taxonomic Level
The taxonomic level to aggregate the OTUs at. The OTUs will be grouped together (by summing the OTU values) at the selected taxonomic level before the analysis is applied.
Categorical Variable
Create comparative sample groups based on categorical variables uploaded in the metadata file.
Optionally create a categorical variable from a quantitative variable by using the Quantile Range feature on the Projects home page.
Distance Metric
Choose from one or multiple ways to calculate the distance between samples
Interactive Elements
Hover over each point to determine its sample ID and its NMDS component values
Zoom and pan
