F1000 manuscript with package details accepted and available at <https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.20660.2>
Citation updated within package
Require study duration be specified when simulating observations
Implemented functionality to allow random asynchronous timepoints samples along the study duration
Additional functions to approximate observed longitudinal microbiome data
Convert simulated data into common data objects in either the metagenomeSeq or phyloseq packages
Existing function changes:
gen_norm_microbiome (must specify t_interval for study duration and additional option to specify asynchronous time points using asynch_time=TRUE)
mvrnorm_sim (must specify t_interval for study duration and additional option to specify asynchronous time points using asynch_time=TRUE)
New functions:
conversion_functions (convert simulated data to metagenomeSeq or phyloseq object)
sim_obs_functions (host of functions that allow users to specify discrete sampling timepoints and approximate observed longitudinal patterns)
