balance_dendrogram: Compositional Balance Dendrogram

In coda.plot: Plots for Compositional Data

Compositional Balance Dendrogram

Description

Plots a balance dendrogram based on a compositional data set and a corresponding balance matrix. This visualization helps interpret the structure of balances in compositional data analysis.

Usage

balance_dendrogram(X, B, group = NULL)

Arguments

X	A numeric matrix or data frame representing the compositional data. Rows are observations and columns are components (must be strictly positive).
B	A numeric matrix representing the balance basis (e.g., an isometric log-ratio (ilr) balance matrix).
group	Optional. If provided, show grouped box summaries under each node.

Value

A ggplot2 object representing the balance dendrogram.

Examples

# Simulated compositional data and balances
X = matrix(runif(50, 1, 10), ncol = 5)
colnames(X) = LETTERS[1:5]
B = coda.base::pb_basis(X, method = 'exact')
balance_dendrogram(X, B)
