transform_lr: Pairwise Log-Ratios (LR)

transform_lrR Documentation

Pairwise Log-Ratios (LR)

Description

Computes all pairwise log-ratio transformation.

Usage

transform_lr(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'CompositionMatrix'
transform_lr(object, weights = FALSE)

Arguments

object

A CompositionMatrix object.

...

Currently not used.

weights

A logical scalar: should varying weights (column means) be computed? If FALSE (the default), equally-weighted parts are used. Alternatively, a positive numeric vector of weights can be specified (will be rescaled to sum to 1). Weights will be used internally by other methods (e.g. variance()).

Value

A LR object.
