The additive log-ratio transformation and its inverse
The additive log-ratio transformation and its inverse.
alr(x) alrinv(y)
x |
A numerical matrix with the compositional data. |
y |
A numerical matrix with data to be closed into the simplex. |
The additive log-ratio transformation with the first component being the commn divisor is applied. The inverse of this trnasformation is also available. This means that no zeros are allowed.
A matrix with the alr transformed data (if alr is used) or with the compositional data (if the alrinv is used).
