mlr: The multiplicative log-ratio transformation and its inverse

In Compositional: Compositional Data Analysis

The multiplicative log-ratio transformation and its inverse

Description

The multiplicative log-ratio transformation and its inverse.

Usage

mlr(x)
mlrinv(y)

Arguments

x	A numerical matrix with the compositional data.
y	A numerical matrix with data to be closed into the simplex.

Details

The multiplicative log-ratio transformation and its inverse are applied here. This means that no zeros are allowed.

Value

A matrix with the mlr transformed data (if mlr is used) or with the compositional data (if the mlrinv is used).
