Abstract: In microbiome studies, it is of interest to use a sample from a population of microbes, such as the gut microbiota community, to estimate the population proportion of these taxa. However, due to biases introduced in sampling and preprocessing steps, these observed taxa abundances may not reflect true taxa abundance patterns in the ecosystem. Repeated measures, including longitudinal study designs, may be potential solutions to mitigate the discrepancy between observed abundances and true underlying abundances. Yet, widely observed zero-inflation and over-dispersion issues can distort downstream statistical analyses aiming to associate taxa abundances with covariates of interest. To this end, we propose a Zero-Inflated Poisson Gamma (ZIPG) framework to address the aforementioned challenges. From a perspective of measurement errors, we accommodate the discrepancy between observations and truths by decomposing the mean parameter in Poisson regression into a true abundance level and a multiplicative measurement of sampling variability from the microbial ecosystem. Then, we provide a flexible model by connecting both mean abundance and the variability to different covariates, and build valid statistical inference procedures for both parameter estimation and hypothesis testing. Through comprehensive simulation studies and real data applications, the proposed ZIPG method provides significant insights into distinguished differential variability and abundance.
