We present a new model for analyzing compositional data with structural zeros. Inspired by \cite{butler2008} who suggested a model in the presence of zero values in the data we propose a model that treats the zero values in a different…
This paper introduces a rectified and renormalized Fisher-Bingham model for compositional data with zeros, motivated in part by the presence of zeros in microbiota studies. The approach represents compositions through a square-root…
In microbiome and genomic studies, the regression of compositional data has been a crucial tool for identifying microbial taxa or genes that are associated with clinical phenotypes. To account for the variation in sequencing depth, the…
Microbiome data are complex in nature, involving high dimensionality, compositionally, zero inflation, and taxonomic hierarchy. Compositional data reside in a simplex that does not admit the standard Euclidean geometry. Most existing…
One important problem in microbiome analysis is to identify the bacterial taxa that are associated with a response, where the microbiome data are summarized as the composition of the bacterial taxa at different taxonomic levels. This paper…
In real world applications dealing with compositional datasets, it is easy to face the presence of structural zeros. The latter arise when, due to physical limitations, one or more variables are intrinsically zero for a subset of the…

The human microbiome can contribute to pathogeneses of many complex diseases by mediating disease-leading causal pathways. However, standard mediation analysis methods are not adequate to analyze the microbiome as a mediator due to the…
The growing use of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) has enabled the large-scale production of compositional count data, driving progress in microbiome research. However, such count data are often high-dimensional, over-dispersed, and…
There has been a growing acknowledgement of the involvement of the gut microbiome - the collection of microbes that reside in our gut - in regulating our mood and behaviour. This phenomenon is referred to as the microbiome-gut-brain axis.…
High-dimensional compositional data, such as those from human microbiome studies, pose unique statistical challenges due to the simplex constraint and excess zeros. While dimension reduction is indispensable for analyzing such data,…
High-dimensional compositional data arise naturally in many applications such as metagenomic data analysis. The observed data lie in a high-dimensional simplex, and conventional statistical methods often fail to produce sensible results due…
We introduce a novel approach to compositional data analysis based on $L^{\infty}$-normalization, addressing challenges posed by zero-rich high-throughput data. Traditional methods like Aitchison's transformations require excluding zeros,…
