Course on compositional data and their analysis

The course aims to provide attendees with the theoretical and computational elements necessary to develop applications involving compositional data. Compositional data appear frequently in a multitude of applied scientific fields. These fields include biology in all its branches, from microbiology and genetics to biomedicine and ecology; geology, geochemistry, and Earth Sciences in general; Tourism, sociology, psychology, and all branches of engineering. That is, compositional analysis is useful for many applications. Course attendees are expected to present their own problems with compositional data analysis.
