philr

A phylogenetic transform for analysis of compositional microbiome data


PhILR = Phylogenetic Isometric Log-Ratio Transform. This R package provides functions for the analysis of compositional data (e.g., data representing proportions of different variables/parts). Specifically, this package allows analysis of compositional data where the parts can be related through a phylogenetic tree (as is common in microbiota survey data) and makes available the Isometric Log Ratio transform built from the phylogenetic tree and utilizing a weighted reference measure.

    install.packages("BiocManager")
## BiocManager::install("BiocUpgrade") ## you may need this
BiocManager::install("philr")

The development version is maintained on GitHub and can be downloaded as follows:

## install.packages('devtools') # if devtools not installed
devtools::install_github('jsilve24/philr')

Alternatively, download and decompress package and then run:
