An iterative technique to minimize effects of controlling for uneven
sampling depth where a feature table is :term:`rarefied<rarefy>`
multiple times (typically 100 or 1000), and diversity
metrics are applied to each rarefied table and subsequently used to
compute summary statistics. See `Schloss (2024) <https://doi.org/10.1128/msphere.00355-23>` for additional information.
