The Core Microbiome refers to the group of microorganisms that are consistently present in a particular environment, habitat, or host species. These microorganisms play a crucial role in the functioning and stability of that ecosystem. Identifying these microorganisms can contribute to the emerging field of personalized medicine. The 'CoreMicrobiomeR' is designed to facilitate the identification, statistical testing, and visualization of this group of microorganisms.This package offers three key functions to analyze and visualize microbial community data. This package has been developed based on the research papers published by Pereira et al.(2018) <doi:10.1186/s12864-018-4637-6> and Beule L, Karlovsky P. (2020) <doi:10.7717/peerj.9593>.

Provides a minimal interface for applying
    annotators from the 'Stanford CoreNLP' java library. Methods
    are provided for tasks such as tokenisation, part of speech
    tagging, lemmatisation, named entity recognition, coreference
    detection and sentiment analysis.

Core functions for simulating quantities of interest
    from generalised linear models (GLM). This package will form the backbone of
    a series of other packages that improve the interpretation of GLM estimates.

Fits hidden Markov models of discrete character evolution which allow different transition rate classes on different portions of a phylogeny. Beaulieu et al (2013) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syt034>.

Includes binning categorical variables into lesser number of categories based on t-test, converting categorical variables into continuous features 
	using the mean of the response variable for the respective categories, understanding the relationship between the response variable and predictor variables 
	using data transformations.

A matrix of agreement patterns and counts for record pairs is the input for the procedure.  An EM algorithm is used to impute plausible values for missing record pairs.  A second EM algorithm, incorporating possible correlations between per-field agreement, is used to estimate posterior probabilities that each pair is a true match - i.e. constitutes the same individual.
