postgresql-clr

The center log ratio is an isomorphism and an isometry defined as $\text{clr}: S^D \rightarrow U,\quad U\subset R^D$.

$$\text{clr}(x) = \left[\log\frac{x_1}{g(x)},\dots,\log\frac{x_D}{g(x)}\right],$$

where $g(x)$ is the geometric mean of $x$.

The implementation follows

• pycodamath (version 1.0)
• scipy (version 1.7.3)

Installation

You need a working postgresql database and a login role that has proper rights to create functions. Note, the helper script provided does not take care of granting additional rights to these functions.

python install.py -d mydb -u mydbuser

For additional parametrization see the scripts help.

TODO

1. provide usage examples
2. provide test
