Compositional data are commonly known as multivariate observations carrying relative information. Even though the case of vector or even two-factorial compositional data (compositional tables) is already well described in the literature,…
Compositional data are common in many fields, both as outcomes and predictor variables. The inventory of models for the case when both the outcome and predictor variables are compositional is limited and the existing models are difficult to…

Compositional data and multivariate count data with known totals are challenging to analyse due to the non-negativity and sum-to-one constraints on the sample space. It is often the case that many of the compositional components are highly…
This work investigates whether time series of natural phenomena can be understood as being generated by sequences of latent states which are ordered in systematic and regular ways. We focus on clinical time series and ask whether clinical…
Many biological high-throughput data sets, such as targeted amplicon-based and metagenomic sequencing data, are compositional in nature. A common exploratory data analysis task is to infer statistical associations between the…
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…
Compositional generalization is the ability to generalize systematically to a new data distribution by combining known components. Although humans seem to have a great ability to generalize compositionally, state-of-the-art neural models…
Compositional data, such as human gut microbiomes, consist of non-negative variables whose only the relative values to other variables are available. Analyzing compositional data such as human gut microbiomes needs a careful treatment of…
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,…

Compositional generalization is a crucial step towards developing data-efficient intelligent machines that generalize in human-like ways. In this work, we tackle a challenging form of distribution shift, termed compositional shift, where…
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…
In current applied research the most-used route to an analysis of composition is through log-ratios -- that is, contrasts among log-transformed measurements. Here we argue instead for a more direct approach, using a statistical model for…
A folded type model is developed for analyzing compositional data. The proposed model involves an extension of the $\alpha$-transformation for compositional data and provides a new and flexible class of distributions for modeling data…
Composition is a powerful principle for systems biology, focused on the interfaces, interconnections, and orchestration of distributed processes to enable integrative multiscale simulations. Whereas traditional models focus on the structure…
Differential abundance analysis is at the core of statistical analysis of microbiome data. The compositional nature of microbiome sequencing data makes false positive control challenging. Here, we show that the compositional effects can be…
