non-Euclidean distances
Editor's Pick Methods and Protocols | Novel Systems Biology TechniquesThe Generalized Matrix Decomposition Biplot and Its Application to Microbiome DataBiplots that simultaneously display the sample clustering and the important taxa have gained popularity in the exploratory analysis of human microbiome data. Traditional biplots, assuming Euclidean distances between samples, are not appropriate for microbiome data, when non-Euclidean distances are used to characterize dissimilarities among microbial communities. Thus, incorporating information from non-Euclidean distances into a biplot...
