All of the imputation techniques usually applied for replacing values below the
detection limit in compositional data sets have adverse effects on the variability. In this
work we propose a modification of the EM algorithm that is applied using the additive
log-ratio transformation. This new strategy is applied to a compositional data set and the
results are compared with the usual imputation techniques[-]
