Abstract
[Insert a 200 to 300 word English abstract. Frame the work for a UK or international research audience: explain what compositional data analysis is in one sentence, describe the dataset (causes of death in Mexico), summarise the methodological contribution, and note what the findings reveal. Highlight transferability of the methods to other domains such as microbiome data, time-use studies, or any setting where data sums to a constant.Compositional data analysis is genuinely useful in microbiome research, drug formulation, and several areas of epidemiology]
Methods
Compositional data analysis applied to mortality data, with implementation in R. Methods drew on the Aitchison framework for analysing data constrained to a simplex.
