Compositional Data Analysis

NOTE EDITORE

Compositional Data Analysis (CoDA) refers to the analysis of all those vectors representing parts of a whole which only carry relative information. This type of data is ubiquitous in most applications, especially in geology, chemistry, genetics, and environmental sciences. The last comprehensive treatment was written by John Aitchison in 1986, and this book represents an update of that classic book.
