univariate_ilr function

Univariate Isometric Log-Ratios (ILR)

Computes univariate ILR coordinates. methods

univariate_ilr(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'numeric'
univariate_ilr(object)

## S4 method for signature 'matrix'
univariate_ilr(object)

Arguments

• object: A CompositionMatrix object.
• ...: Currently not used.

Returns

Same as object.

Details

The ILR transformation provides the coordinates of any composition with respect to a given orthonormal basis. transform_ilr() uses the orthonormal basis (Helmert matrix) originally defined by Egozcue et al. (2003).

Examples

## Data from Aitchison 1986
data("hongite")

## Coerce to compositional data
coda <- as_composition(hongite)

## Isometric log-ratio
ilr <- transform_ilr(coda)
plr <- transform_plr(coda)

## Inverse transformation
inv_ilr <- transform_inverse(ilr)
all.equal(coda, inv_ilr)

inv_plr <- transform_inverse(plr)
all.equal(coda, inv_plr)
