bootLong implements the block bootstrap method inference for longitudinal microbiome data. In addition, bootLong provides tools to explore the sampling schedule and within-subject dependency.

bootLong strats with a phyloseq object and returns the confidence intervals and adjusted p-values for the differential abundance analysis.

The input phyloseq must have the count data.
