Description: This package offers a robust approach to make inference on
        the association of covariates with the absolute abundance (AA)
        of microbiome in an ecosystem. It can be also directly applied
        to relative abundance (RA) data to make inference on AA because
        the ratio of two RA is equal to the ratio of their AA. This
        algorithm can estimate and test the associations of interest
        while adjusting for potential confounders. The estimates of
        this method have easy interpretation like a typical regression
        analysis. High-dimensional covariates are handled with
        regularization and it is implemented by parallel computing.
        False discovery rate is automatically controlled by this
        approach. Zeros do not need to be imputed by a positive value
        for the analysis. The IFAA package also offers the 'MZILN'
        function for estimating and testing associations of abundance
        ratios with covariates.
