A phylogenetic transform for analysis of compositional microbiome data
PhILR = Phylogenetic Isometric Log-Ratio Transform. This R package provides functions for the analysis of compositional data (e.g., data representing proportions of different variables/parts). Specifically, this package allows analysis of compositional data where the parts can be related through a phylogenetic tree (as is common in microbiota survey data) and makes available the Isometric Log Ratio transform built from the phylogenetic tree and utilizing a weighted reference measure.

Each exported function in the package has been documented and we have also written an introductory vignette that is accessible by calling
vignette('philr-intro', package='philr')
The release version of philr is maintained on Bioconductor
## try http:// if https:// URLs are not supported
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
## BiocManager::install("BiocUpgrade") ## you may need this
BiocManager::install("philr")
The development version is maintained on GitHub and can be downloaded as follows:
## install.packages('devtools') # if devtools not installed
devtools::install_github('jsilve24/philr')
Alternatively, download and decompress package and then run:
## install.packages('devtools') # if devtools not installed
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
devtools::install_local(‘x’) # replace x with path to decompressed package
I appreciate bug reports and feature requests. Please post to the github issue tracker here.
