7th International Workshop on Compositional Data Analysis

June 5-9, 2017, Abbadia San Salvatore (Siena) Italy

Compositional data (CoDa) are typically defined as vectors of positive 
components and constant sum, usually 100% or 1. These conditions render 
most classical statistical techniques incoherent on compositions, as 
they were devised for unbounded real vectors.

CoDaWork is a forum of discussion of theory and applications of the 
statistical analysis of Compositional Data. One of the most enriching 
characteristics of preceding workshop editions was their 
multidisciplinary approach. We keep it, and therefore multidisciplinary 
contributions are welcome.
