Author

Devon O'Rourke

Summary

This R markdown document uses Random Forest (RF) classification to identify ASVs that help discriminate amongst a metadata group. Expected outputs include:

1. A confusion matrix heatmap that visualizes the precision of the model
2. A list of ASVs important to the RF model
3. A plot visualizing the taxa information associated with these relevant ASVs
