One aspect of metagenomics is investigating the community composition of organisms within a sequencing sample with tools known as taxonomic classifiers, such as Kraken @kraken. +DNA shotgun sequencing of human, animal, and environmental samples has opened up new doors to explore the diversity of life in these different environments, a field known as metagenomics [@metagenomics]. One aspect of metagenomics is investigating the community composition of organisms within a sequencing sample with tools known as taxonomic classifiers, such as Kraken [@kraken]. In cases where the origin of a metagenomic sample, its source, is unknown, it is often part of the research question to predict and/or confirm the source. For example, in microbial archaelogy, it is sometimes necessary to rely on metagenomics to validate the source of paleofaeces. Using samples of known sources, a reference dataset can be established with the taxonomic composition of the samples, *i.e.* the organisms identified in the samples as features, and the sources of the samples as class labels. diff --git a/paper/paper.pdf b/paper/paper.pdf index daf9439..a6cbced 100644 Binary files a/paper/paper.pdf and b/paper/paper.pdf differ
