Compositional: Compositional Data Analysis

Regression, classification, contour plots, hypothesis testing and fitting of distributions for compositional data are some of the functions included. 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).
