"Its great advantage is that it is very well written, easy to follow, very didactical, and self-contained. Its great advantage is that it is very well written, easy to follow, very didactical, and self-contained. . I would definitely recommend researchers to use this book, but they should be aware that compositional data analysis is not just based on simple transformations." (Vera Pawlowsky-Glahn, Statistical Papers, Vol. 61, 2020)
"Its easy-to-read format and didactic layout are designed for researchers from different fields. . Applied Compositional Data Analysis is a nice book for scholars because it offers a wide spectrum of different types of statistical analysis." (Jan Graffelman and Josep Antoni Martín-Fernández, Biometrical Journal, Vol. 62, 2020)
"The book is appropriate for graduate students with a basic statistical background as an introductory book to compositional data analysis using R as non-beginners. It can also be successfully used by PhD students, researchers and teachers requiring a consistent and through reference." (Márta Ladányi, ISCB News, Vol. 68, December, 2019)
