Function to find differentially abundant features?

Posted 5 years ago

Is there a Mathematica function for easily finding differentially abundant features? For example. If I have the following array of feature counts (very simplified):

{{0,1,0,1,5,4,0,1,0,0}->A,{0,3,0,1,1,4,0,1,0,0}->A,{1,1,0,1,2,8,0,1,0,1}->B,{1,1,0,1,3,8,0,1,2,0}->B}}

Is there a function that calculates the abundance of each feature for "A" and "B" and provides a statistical comparison of the feature between the two groups. I know that I could calculate this using several different statistics but what I am looking for is a more automated function designed to find differentially abundant features since my datasets will have many samples with sometimes thousands of features.

What might such a function return for the example given in the question?
