These facts highlight the importance of the microbiome in actual science. However, microbiome data has some characteristics that makes its statistical study challenging. In recent years, longitudinal and non-longitudinal methods have been designed to analyze the microbiota and knowing more about the bacterial behavior. In this article in the form of a review we summarize the characteristics of microbiome data and the statistical methods most widespread to analyze it. We have taken into account if the strategies are longitudinal or not. We also classify the methods based on their specific analytical objectives and based on their mathematical characteristics. The methods are structured according to their biological goals and mathematical features, ensuring that the insights provided are both relevant and accessible to professionals in biology and statistics. We present this review as a reference for the most widely used methods in microbiome data analysis and as a foundation for identifying potential areas for future research. We want to point out that this review can be particularly useful to remark the importance of the methodology designed in order to study microbiome longitudinal datasets.This work has been funded by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (PID2019-105969GB-I00), Generalitat Valenciana, Spain (CIPROM/2021/042), and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) .Peer reviewedElsevierAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (España)European CommissionGeneralitat ValencianaConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252025info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Postprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/392900reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
