dc.description.abstract
In any discipline, where uncertainty and variability are present, it is important to have
principles which are accepted as inviolate and which should therefore drive statistical
modelling, statistical analysis of data and any inferences from such an analysis.
Despite the fact that two such principles have existed over the last two decades and
from these a sensible, meaningful methodology has been developed for the statistical
analysis of compositional data, the application of inappropriate and/or meaningless
methods persists in many areas of application. This paper identifies at least ten
common fallacies and confusions in compositional data analysis with illustrative
examples and provides readers with necessary, and hopefully sufficient, arguments to
persuade the culprits why and how they should amend their ways
