Pivot coordinates and their inverse

Description

Pivot coordinates as a special case of isometric logratio coordinates and their inverse mapping.

Usage

pivotCoord(
  x,
  pivotvar = 1,
  fast = FALSE,
  method = "pivot",
  base = exp(1),
  norm = "orthonormal"
)

isomLR(x, fast = FALSE, base = exp(1), norm = "sqrt((D-i)/(D-i+1))")

isomLRinv(x)

pivotCoordInv(x, norm = "orthonormal")

isomLRp(x, fast = FALSE, base = exp(1), norm = "sqrt((D-i)/(D-i+1))")

isomLRinvp(x)

Arguments

x	object of class data.frame or matrix. Positive values only.
pivotvar	pivotal variable. If any other number than 1, the data are resorted in that sense that the pivotvar is shifted to the first part.
fast	if TRUE, it is approx. 10 times faster but numerical problems in case of high-dimensional data may occur. Only available for method “pivot”.
method	pivot takes the method described in the description. Method "symm" uses symmetric pivot coordinates (parameters pivotvar and norm have then no effect)
base	a positive or complex number: the base with respect to which logarithms are computed. Defaults to exp(1).
norm	if FALSE then the normalizing constant is not used, if TRUE sqrt((D-i)/(D-i+1)) is used (default). The user can also specify a self-defined constant.

Details

Pivot coordinates map D-part compositional data from the simplex into a (D-1)-dimensional real space isometrically. From our choice of pivot coordinates, all the relative information about one of parts (or about two parts) is aggregated in the first coordinate (or in the first two coordinates in case of symmetric pivot coordinates, respectively).

Value

The data represented in pivot coordinates

Examples

require(MASS)
Sigma <- matrix(c(5.05,4.95,4.95,5.05), ncol=2, byrow=TRUE)
z <- pivotCoordInv(mvrnorm(100, mu=c(0,2), Sigma=Sigma))

data(expenditures)
## first variable as pivot variable
pivotCoord(expenditures)
## third variable as pivot variable
pivotCoord(expenditures, 3) 

x <- exp(mvrnorm(2000, mu=rep(1,10), diag(10)))
system.time(pivotCoord(x))
system.time(pivotCoord(x, fast=TRUE))

## without normalizing constant
pivotCoord(expenditures, norm = "orthogonal") # or:
pivotCoord(expenditures, norm = "1")
## other normalization
pivotCoord(expenditures, norm = "-sqrt((D-i)/(D-i+1))")

# symmetric balances (results in 2-dim symmetric pivot coordinates)
pivotCoord(expenditures, method = "symm")
