+Compute first distances or distance from baseline between sequential states
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Calculates first distances between sequential states for samples collected
+from individual subjects sampled repeatedly at two or more states. This
+method is similar to the "first differences" method, except that it
+requires a distance matrix as input and calculates first differences as
+distances between successive states. Outputs a data series of first
+distances for each individual subject at each sequential pair of states,
+labeled by the SampleID of the second state (e.g., paired distances between
+time 0 and time 1 would be labeled by the SampleIDs at time 1). This file
+can be used as input to linear mixed effects models or other longitudinal
+or diversity methods to compare changes in first distances across time or
+among groups of subjects. Also supports distance from baseline (or other
+static comparison state) by setting the "baseline" parameter.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+distance_matrix : DistanceMatrix
+    Matrix of distances between pairs of samples.
+metadata : Metadata
+    Sample metadata file containing individual_id_column.
+state_column : Str
+    Metadata column containing state (e.g., Time) across which samples are
+    paired.
+individual_id_column : Str
+    Metadata column containing IDs for individual subjects.
+baseline : Float, optional
+    A value listed in the state_column metadata column against which all
+    other states should be compared. Toggles calculation of static
+    distances instead of first distances (which are calculated if no value
+    is given for baseline). If a "baseline" value is provided, sample
+    distances at each state are compared against the baseline state,
+    instead of the previous state. Must be a value listed in the
+    state_column.
+replicate_handling : Str % Choices({'drop', 'error', 'random'}), optional
+    Choose how replicate samples are handled. If replicates are detected,
+    "error" causes method to fail; "drop" will discard all replicated
+    samples; "random" chooses one representative at random from among
+    replicates.
+
+Returns
+-------
+first_distances : SampleData[FirstDifferences]
+    Series of first distances.
