Table 1.
Summary of simulation scenarios (two batch groups). For a given choice of parameters reported in this table, each simulation was repeated 50 times. 
and 
represent the number of variables with treatment, batch or both effects, respectively. Simulation 6 includes parameters likely to represent real data according to our experience in analysing microbiome datasets.
