Framework for multi-omic study design and analysis. Explicitly defined research questions in a multi-omic investigation should inform three aspects of the study: study design, biospecimen sampling schema, and selection of additional omic type(s) to be integrated with the metabolome. Given the target of inference, be it effect estimation / hypothesis testing, prediction / classification, or both, we may choose appropriate methods for integration and analysis.
