rcompmargin {compositions} | R Documentation

## Marginal compositions in real geometry

### Description

Compute marginal compositions by amalgamating the rest (additively).

### Usage

              rcompmargin(X,d=c(1,2),name="+",pos=length(d)+1)

### Arguments

`X` | composition or dataset of compositions
`d` | vector containing the indices xor names of the columns to be kept
`name` | The new name of the amalgamation column
`pos` | The position where the new amalgamation column should be stored. This defaults to the last column.

### Details

The amalgamation column is simply computed by adding the non-selected components after closing the composition. This is consistent with the `rcomp` approach and is widely used because of its easy interpretation. However, it often leads to difficult-to-read ternary diagrams and is inconsistent with the `acomp` approach.

### Value

A closed compositions with class `"rcomp"` containing the selected variables given by `d` and the the amalgamation column.

### Missing Policy

MNAR has the highest priority, MAR next and WZERO (BDL,SZ),- values are considered as 0 and reported as BDL in the End.
