Isometric Log-Ratios (ILR)

Source: R/AllGenerics.R, R/transform.R
transform_ilr.Rd

Computes ILR transformations.

Usage

transform_ilr(object, ...)

# S4 method for CompositionMatrix
transform_ilr(object)

Arguments

object

A CompositionMatrix object.

...

Currently not used.

Value

An ILR object.

Details

The ILR transformation provides the coordinates of any composition with respect to a given orthonormal basis. transform_ilr() uses the orthonormal basis (Helmert matrix) originally defined by Egozcue et al. (2003).

Examples

## Coerce to compositional data
data("hongite")
coda <- as_composition(hongite)

## Pairwise log-ratio
lr <- transform_lr(coda)

## Centered log-ratio
clr <- transform_clr(coda)

## Additive log-ratio
alr <- transform_alr(coda)

## Isometric log-ratio
ilr <- transform_ilr(coda)
plr <- transform_plr(coda)

## Inverse transformation
inv_clr <- transform_inverse(clr)
all.equal(coda, inv_clr)
#> [1] TRUE

inv_alr <- transform_inverse(alr)
all.equal(coda, inv_alr)
#> [1] TRUE

inv_ilr <- transform_inverse(ilr)
all.equal(coda, inv_ilr)
#> [1] TRUE

inv_plr <- transform_inverse(plr)
all.equal(coda, inv_plr)
#> [1] TRUE
