Existing nonparametric imputation methods—both for the additive and the multiplicative approach—are revised and essential properties of the last method are given and for missing values a generalization of themultiplicative approach is proposed.

It turns out that the procedure using ilr‐transformed data and robust PCA delivers superior results to all other approaches, demonstrating that due to the compositional nature of geochemical data PCA should be carried out without an appropriate transformation.

A new method is proposed for making inferences from multinomial data in cases where there is no prior information, called the imprecise Dirichlet model, which does satisfy the invariance principle.

The debate between Heckman sample selection and two-part models in health econometrics is revisited in the context of female smoking and drinking, and the two approaches are evaluated on three grounds: theoretical, practical and statistical.

The imprecise Dirichlet model (IDM) was recently proposed by Walley as a model for objective statistical inference from multinomial data with chances @q, and some of its recent applications to various statistical problems are reviewed.

An EM-type computational algorithm for replacing rounded zeros with an additive logistic normal model is provided and a sequential strategy is proposed for the case of rounding zeros in all the components of a composition.

This work results from a modification of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm and is based on the additive log-ratio transformation, and finds that this approach improves other parametric and non-parametric techniques for compositional rounded zeros.

Study of a color polymorphic population of the Lake Victoria cichlid fish Neochromis omnicaeruleus, a species in which color morphs are associated with different sex-determining factors, finds that consistency of individual male mating preferences was higher in males with strongest preferences.

A dataset which is modeled well by the Poisson-Log Normal process and by this process mixed with Log Normal data, which are both turned into compositions, generates compositional data that has zeros without any need for conditional models or assuming that there is missing or censored data that needs adjustment.
