Produktinformationen

Statistical analysis of compositional data has been a topic of research for more than a century; within the last decade, theoretical results have shown that the simplex-the sample space of compositional data-can be structured as a Euclidean space. This allows the representation of compositions in coordinates; in particular, in coordinates with respect to an orthonormal (Cartesian) basis. In turn, it offers a way to apply all known methods in multivariate statistics, which were developed under the assumption that data are realizations of real random variables.

Modeling and Analysis of Compositional Data presents a practical and comprehensive introduction with numerous examples to illustrate both theory and application of each method. The authors provide a complete and current compendium of fundamental to advanced methodologies along with exercises at the end of each chapter to aid the readers´ understanding. Solutions to questions raised throughout the text, along with datasets, are available on the companion website (www.wiley.com/go/glahn/practical).

- Presents a comprehensive and practical introduction to the analysis of compositional data.

- Presents numerous examples of compositional data and exercises from many fields of science.

- Uses a sample space approach to compositional data based on its algebraic/geometric structure.

- Written by leading experts responsible for many advances in the field.

- Accompanied by a website featuring a manual with solutions, instructions to access free software, and datasets.

Statisticians, mathematicians, and researchers in all fields of science that have to deal with compositional data will find this book a useful resource. It can also be used as a textbook for students with basic knowledge of linear algebra, calculus, and statistics.
