Description:

Regression, classification, contour plots, hypothesis testing and fitting of distributions for compositional data are some of the functions included. We further include functions for percentages (or proportions). The standard textbook for such data is John Aitchison's (1986) "The statistical analysis of compositional data". Relevant papers include: a) Tsagris M.T., Preston S. and Wood A.T.A. (2011). "A data-based power transformation for compositional data". Fourth International International Workshop on Compositional Data Analysis. b) Tsagris M. (2014). "The k-NN algorithm for compositional data: a revised approach with and without zero values present".

Proceedings of the 28th Panhellenic Statistics Conference, 15-18 April 2015, Athens, Greece, 430--444. . d) Tsagris M. (2015). "Regression analysis with compositional data containing zero values".
