ilr: Isometric log-ratio transformation

Description

An isometric log-ratio transformation with a special choice of the balances according to Hron et al. (2010).

Usage

ilr(x)

Arguments

x
object of class data.frame or matrix with positive entries

Value

  • The isomLR transformed data.

Details

The ilr transformation moves D-part compositional data from the simplex into a (D-1)-dimensional real space isometrically. From this choice of the balances, all the relative information of the part $x_1$ from the remaining parts is separated. It is useful for estimating missing values in $x_1$ by regression of the remaining variables.
