Compositional amalgamations and balances: a critical approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The amalgamation operation is frequently used to reduce the number of parts of compositional data but it is a non-linear operation in the simplex with the usual geometry, the Aitchison geometry. The concept of balances between groups, a particular coordinate system designed over binary partitions of the parts, could be an alternative to the amalgamation in some cases. In this work we discuss the proper application of both concepts using a real data set corresponding to behavioral measures of pregnant sows.

Compositionality and Compatibility of Parameterization and Parameter Passing in Specification Languages
In this paper we continue previous work from Sannella, Sokolowski and Tarlecki on parameterization in specification languages. Within the loose approach, we define specification and model level semantics for two kinds of parameterizations (parameterized specifications and specifications of parameterized data types) and describe, in a compositional manner, parameter passing at the two levels. Mo...
متن کاملCorrelation Analysis for Compositional Data
Compositional data need a special treatment prior to correlation analysis. In this paper we argue why standard transformations for compositional data are not suitable for computing correlations, and why the use of raw or log-transformed data is neither meaningful. As a solution, a procedure based on balances is outlined, leading to sensible correlation measures. The construction of the balances...
متن کاملPlant ionome diagnosis using sound balances: case study with mango (Mangifera Indica)
Plant ionomes and soil nutrients are commonly diagnosed in agronomy using concentration and nutrient ratio ranges. However, both diagnoses are biased by redundancy of information, subcompositional incoherence and non-normal distribution inherent to compositional data, potentially leading to conflicting results and wrong inferences. Our objective was to present an unbiased statistical approach o...
متن کاملExploring Compositional Data with the CoDa-Dendrogram
Abstract: Within the special geometry of the simplex, the sample space of compositional data, compositional orthonormal coordinates allow the application of any multivariate statistical approach. The search for meaningful coordinates has suggested balances (between two groups of parts)—based on a sequential binary partition of a D-part composition—and a representation in form of a CoDa-dendrogr...
متن کاملVoltage Imbalance Compensation for Droop-Controlled Inverters in Islanded Microgrid
In this paper, a new control strategy is proposed for implementation in low-voltage microgrids with balanced/ unbalanced load circumstances. The proposed scheme contains, the power droop controllers, inner voltage and current loops, the virtual impedance loop, the voltage imbalance compensation. The proposed strategy balances the voltage of the single-phase critical loads by compensating the im...
