    toy_data <- readRDS(data_dir)
    microbe <- MultiAssayExperiment::experiments(toy_data)[[1]]
    samples <- as.data.frame(colData(microbe))
    result <- filter_categorize(samples,
                                sample_condition = 'AGE',
                                new_label='AGE_GROUP',
                                bin_breaks=c(0,55,75,100),
