The alpha-IT transformation | R Documentation |
The α-IT transformation.
ait(x, a, h = TRUE)
x |
A matrix with the compositional data. |
a |
The value of the power transformation, it has to be between -1 and 1. If zero values are present it has to be greater than 0. If α=0 the isometric log-ratio transformation is applied. |
h |
A boolean variable. If is TRUE (default value) the multiplication with the Helmert sub-matrix will take place. When α=0 and h = FALSE, the result is the centred log-ratio transformation (Aitchison, 1986). In general, when h = FALSE the resulting transformation maps the data onto a singualr space. The sum of the vectors is equal to 0. Hence, from the simplex constraint the data go to another constraint. |
The α-IT transformation is applied to the compositional data.
A matrix with the α-IT transformed data.
