print: Printing compositional data.

In compositions: Compositional Data Analysis

Printing compositional data.

Description

Prints compositional objects with appropriate missing encodings.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'acomp'
print(x,...,replace0=TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'aplus'
print(x,...,replace0=TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'rcomp'
print(x,...,replace0=FALSE)
## S3 method for class 'rplus'
print(x,...,replace0=FALSE)

Arguments

x	a compositional object
...	further arguments to print.default
replace0	logical: Shall 0 be treated as "Below detection Limit" with unkown limit.

Details

Missings are displayed with an appropriate encoding:

MAR

Missing at random: The value is missing independently of its true value.

MNAR

Missing NOT at random: The value is missing dependently of its true value, but without a known systematic. Maybe a better name would be: Value dependen missingness.

BDL

below detection limit (with unspecified detection limit): The value is missing because it was below an unkown detection limit.

<Detectionlimit

below detection limit (with specified detection limit): The value is below the displayed detection limit.

SZ

Structural Zero: A true value is either bound to be zero or does not exist for structural nonrandom reasons. E.g. the portion of pregnant girls at a boys school.

ERR

Error: An illegal encoding value was found in the object.

Value

An invisible version of x.

Missing Policy

The policy of treatment of zeroes, missing values and values below detecion limit is explained in depth in compositions.missings.
