Details
1) Compute the geometric mean function
2) Apply the centered log-ratio transformation
3) Apply a nonparametric function-on-function regression to the transformed data
4) Transform forecasts back to the compositional data
5) Add back the geometric means, to obtain the forecasts of the density function
