Description

Compute the transformation matrix to express a composition using the oblique additive log-ratio coordinates.

Usage

alr_basis(dim, denominator = dim, numerator = which(denominator != 1:dim))

Value

matrix

Arguments

dim

number of parts

denominator

part used as denominator (default behaviour is to use last part)

numerator

parts to be used as numerator. By default all except the denominator parts are chosen following original order.
