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…
Compositional data sets are ubiquitous in science, including geology, ecology, and microbiology. In microbiome research, compositional data primarily arise from high-throughput sequence-based profiling experiments. These data comprise…
High-dimensional compositional data are commonplace in the modern omics sciences amongst others. Analysis of compositional data requires a proper choice of orthonormal coordinate representation as their relative nature is not compatible…
Traditional methods for the analysis of compositional data consider the log-ratios between all different pairs of variables with equal weight, typically in the form of aggregated contributions. This is not meaningful in contexts where it is…
Dimension reduction for high-dimensional compositional data plays an important role in many fields, where the principal component analysis of the basis covariance matrix is of scientific interest. In practice, however, the basis variables…
We propose an estimation procedure for covariation in wide compositional data sets. For compositions, widely-used logratio variables are interdependent due to a common reference. Logratio uncorrelated compositions are linearly independent…
Compositional data analysis is concerned with multivariate data that have a constant sum, usually 1 or 100\%. These are data often found in biochemistry and geochemistry, but also in the social sciences, when relative values are of interest…
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…
Statistical analysis on compositional data has gained a lot of attention due to their great potential of applications. A feature of these data is that they are multivariate vectors that lie in the simplex, that is, the components of each…
We propose a model-based geostatistical approach to deal with regionalized compositions. We combine the additive-log-ratio transformation with multivariate geostatistical models whose covariance matrix is adapted to take into account the…
In microbiome studies, one of the ways of studying bacterial abundances is to estimate bacterial composition based on the sequencing read counts. Various transformations are then applied to such compositional data for downstream statistical…
Compositional data consist of known compositions vectors whose components are positive and defined in the interval (0,1) representing proportions or fractions of a "whole". The sum of these components must be equal to one. Compositional…
In compositional data analysis an observation is a vector containing non-negative values, only the relative sizes of which are considered to be of interest. Without loss of generality, a compositional vector can be taken to be a vector of…
Partial correlations quantify linear association between two variables adjusting for the influence of the remaining variables. They form the backbone for graphical models and are readily obtained from the inverse of the covariance matrix.…
Estimation of the mean vector and covariance matrix is of central importance in the analysis of multivariate data. In the framework of generalized linear models, usually the variances are certain functions of the means with the normal…
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…
Compositional data (i.e., data comprising random variables that sum up to a constant) arises in many applications including microbiome studies, chemical ecology, political science, and experimental designs. Yet when compositional data serve…
Compositional data are met in many different fields, such as economics, archaeometry, ecology, geology and political sciences. Regression where the dependent variable is a composition is usually carried out via a log-ratio transformation of…
High-dimensional compositional data are frequently encountered in many fields of modern scientific research. In regression analysis of compositional data, the presence of covariate measurement errors poses grand challenges for existing…
The log-likelihood of a generative model often involves both positive and negative terms. For a temporal multivariate point process, the negative term sums over all the possible event types at each time and also integrates over all the…
