Description
Compositional Data Analysis (CoDa) refers to concentration-type multivariate data, typically measured in percentages. The importance of a consistent statistical analysis of CoDa cannot be underestimated. Some application fields where relevant contributions have already been made include geology, economy, medicine, food industry and genetics. Real-world CoDa sets are commonly plagued with irregular observations that hamper or even prevent any subsequent data analysis. serve as reference on these topics by gathering. This book will provide an integrated approach to the latest advances (theoretical, practical and software) for exploring and handling irregular data in CoDa.
