Additive logistic transformaton

Description

Inverse additive log-ratio transformation, often called additive logistic transformation.

Usage

invalr(x, cnames = NULL, ivar = NULL, useClassInfo = TRUE)

Arguments

x data set, object of class “alr”, “matrix” or “data.frame”
cnames column names. If the object is of class “alr” the column names are chosen from therein.
ivar index of the rationing part. If the object is of class “alr” the column names are chosen from therein. If not and ivar is not provided by the user, it is assumed that the rationing part was the last column of the data in the simplex.
useClassInfo if FALSE, the class information of object x is not used.

Details

The function allows also to preserve absolute values when class info is provided. Otherwise only the relative information is preserved.

Value

the transformed data matrix

Examples

data(arcticLake)
x <- arcticLake
x.alr <- alr(x, 2)
y <- invalr(x.alr)
## This exactly fulfills:
invalr(alr(x, 3))
data(expenditures)
x <- expenditures
y <- invalr(alr(x, 5))
head(x)
head(y)
## --> absolute values are preserved as well.

## preserve only the ratios:
invalr(x.alr, ivar=2, useClassInfo=FALSE)
