  Dirichlet-Multinomial Mixture Model Machine Learning for Microbiome
  Data

}
\description{

  Dirichlet-multinomial mixture models can be used to describe
  variability in microbial metagenomic data. This package is an
  interface to code originally made available by Holmes, Harris, and
  Qunice, 2012, PLoS ONE 7(2): 1-15.
