<p>A matrix with the compositional data.</p>

<p>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 \(\theta=0\) the log transformation is applied.</p>

Greenacre's power transformation

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