Description: A developed and benchmarked reproducible machine learning
        framework for microbiome-based colorectal cancer (CRC)
        screening. By systematically evaluating normalization
        strategies, taxonomic resolutions, and class imbalance
        handling. This R package allows users to apply the full
        pipeline or selectively run specific components depending on
        their analytical needs. It establishes a scalable foundation
        for developing interpretable microbiome-based screening tools
        to support early CRC detection. This approach could be easily
        implemented in a national screening programme, to improve early
        detection rates for this disease.
