Many illustrated examples and code chunks guide the reader into their modeling and interpretation. And, though the book primarily serves as a reference guide for the R package ?compositions,? it is also a general introductory text on Compositional Data Analysis. Awareness of their special characteristics spread in the Geosciences in the early sixties, but a strategy for properly dealing with them was not available until the works of Aitchison in the eighties. Since then, research has expanded our understanding of their theoretical principles and the potentials and limitations of their interpretation. This is the first comprehensive textbook addressing these issues, as well as their practical implications with regard to software. The book is intended for scientists interested in statistically analyzing their compositional data. The subject enjoys relatively broad awareness in the geosciences and environmental sciences, but the spectrum of recent applications also covers areas like medicine, official statistics, and economics. Readers should be familiar with basic univariate and multivariate statistics. Knowledge of R is recommended but not required, as the book is self-contained. 410 0$aUse R!,$x2197-5736 606 $aMultivariate analysis 606 $aCorrelation (Statistics) 606 $aR (Computer program language) 615 0$aMultivariate analysis. 615 0$aCorrelation (Statistics) 615 0$aR (Computer program language) 676 $a005.55 700 $aBoogaart$b Gerald Van den$01759907 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739406103321 996 $aAnalyzing compositional data with R$94198582 997 $aUNINA
