Folder Structure

The detailed instruction of setting up and running the codes are provided in the README files of each of the following folder.

Folder	Description
julia-code	The Julia code for data-augmentation, as well as pre and post process of BNN models.
python-code	The Python code for feature selections, comparison to random, Random Forest models, and result visualization.
r-code	The R code for normalization of OTUs and feature selection based on NerComi, and a train-test-split for BNN.
shell-script	The script for running all BNN models in Software for Flexible Bayesian Modeling and Markov Chain Sampling, and submission files for CHTC system of UW-Madison.
unused-scripts	Julia code for models and methods that did not make into the final paper.

Please read the description in julia-code first as an overview of workflow, and then proceed to r-code and python-code. Theshell-script could be went over last, as all the works in other folders need to be done first.
