“…multivariate observations carrying relative information (Aitchison 1986;Pawlowsky-Glahn and Buccianti 2011), it is also suitable for more complex data structures, where not the absolute values but rather ratios are of primary interest. One of them are compositional tables (Egozcue, Díaz-Barrero, and Pawlowsky-Glahn 2008;Egozcue, Pawlowsky-Glahn, Templ, and Hron 2014;Fačevicová, Hron, Todorov, Guo, and Templ 2014a;Fačevicová, Hron, Todorov, and Templ 2014b), a continuous counterpart to well-known contingency tables (Agresti 2002). Besides the difference in the nature of data, (cells of the contingency table are discrete counts, while parts of the compositional tables are continuous values), the main difference between is that, on the one hand, a contingency table collects results from n independent observations, while, on the other hand, a compositional table itself represents one observation.…”
