Mediation analysis has been commonly used to study the effect of an exposure on an outcome through a mediator. In this paper, we are interested in exploring the mediation mechanism of microbiome, whose special features make the analysis challenging. We consider the isometric logratio transformation of the relative abundance as the mediator variable. Then, we present a de-biased Lasso estimate for the mediator of interest and derive its standard error estimator, which can be used to develop a test procedure for the interested mediation effect. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to assess the performance of our method. We apply the proposed approach to test the mediation effect of human gut microbiome between the dietary fiber intake and body mass index.

Joint analysis of microbiome and metabolomic data represents an imperative objective as the field moves beyond basic microbiome association studies and turns towards mechanistic and translational investigations. We present a censored Gaussian graphical model framework, where the metabolomic data are treated as continuous and the microbiome data as censored at zero, to identify direct interactions (defined as conditional dependence relationships) between microbial species and metabolites. Simulated examples show that our method metaMint performs favorably compared to the existing ones. metaMint also provides interpretable microbe-metabolite interactions when applied to a bacterial vaginosis data set. R implementation of metaMint is available on GitHub.

Non-standard structured, multivariate data are emerging in many research areas, including genetics and genomics, ecology, and social science. Suitably defined pairwise distance measures are commonly used in distance-based analysis to study the association between the variables. In this work, we consider a linear quantile regression model for pairwise distances. We investigate the large sample properties of an estimator of the unknown coefficients and propose statistical inference procedures correspondingly. Extensive simulations provide evidence of satisfactory finite sample properties of the proposed method. Finally, we applied the method to a microbiome association study to illustrate its utility.
