x

A matrix with the compositional data. Zero values are allowed.

lambda

The value of the power transformation, it has to be between -1 and 1. If zero values are present it has to be greater than 0. If λ=0 the additive log-ratio transformation (alr) is applied. If zero values are present λ must be strictly positive.
