A tool to define the rare biosphere. 'ulrb' solves the problem of the definition of rarity by replacing arbitrary thresholds with an unsupervised machine learning algorithm (partitioning around medoids, or k-medoids). This algorithm works for any type of microbiome data, provided there is an abundance table. This method also works for non-microbiome data.
