  • Modeling microbiota interaction dynamics is crucial for understanding health-disease transitions but is challenging due to data limitations and system complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply and validate principal differential analysis for modeling microbiota interaction dynamics.
  • To provide a comprehensive understanding of the method's derivation, numerics, and implementation.
  • To reveal new insights into intestinal and vaginal microbiota dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Application of principal differential analysis to microbiota data.
  • Derivation and numerical details of the principal differential analysis method.
