User manual || Tutorial
Description: BAnOCC is a package for analyzing compositional covariance while accounting for the compositional structure. Briefly, the model assumes that the unobserved counts are log-normally distributed and then infers the correlation matrix of the log-basis (see the BAnOCC User Manual for a more detailed explanation). The inference is made using No U-Turn Sampling for Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (Hoffman and Gelman 2014) as implemented in the rstan R package (Stan Development Team 2015).
