Agglomerate taxmap Objects

A function similar to the phyloseq::tax_glom function, that assembles abundance data at a specified rank. This removes subtaxa and reassigns the values at the specified rank.

agglomerate_taxmap(obj, rank, validated = FALSE)

Arguments

obj	A Taxmap object.
rank	The rank that will be agglomerated to.
validated	This parameter provides a way to override validation steps. Use carefully. Default: FALSE

Value

A taxmap object that has been agglomerated at the specified rank.

Details

This function helps analyzing taxonomic data at intermediate ranks by agglomerating the observation data and the taxmap object.
