Batch correction without biological covariates
In general, is it ever acceptable to use Combat-seq (or any other batch correction method) without providing any biological covariates?
Combat-seq will run fine if you don't provide any biological covariates, but wouldn't this prevent the model from being able to distinguish between biological variation and batch variation?
