Description: Starting from a microbiome dataset (16S or WMS with
        absolute count values) it is possible to perform several
        analysis to assess the performances of many differential
        abundance detection methods. A basic and standardized version
        of the main differential abundance analysis methods is supplied
        but the user can also add his method to the benchmark. The
        analyses focus on 4 main aspects: i) the goodness of fit of
        each method's distributional assumptions on the observed count
        data, ii) the ability to control the false discovery rate, iii)
        the within and between method concordances, iv) the
        truthfulness of the findings if any apriori knowledge is given.
        Several graphical functions are available for result
        visualization.
