skbio.stats.composition.ilr_inv(mat, basis=None, axis=-1, validate=True)[source]#

Perform inverse isometric log ratio (ILR) transformation.

This function transforms compositions from the real space to Aitchison geometry. The \(ilr^{-1}\) transform is both an isometry, and an isomorphism defined on the following spaces:

\[ilr^{-1}: \mathbb{R}^{D-1} \rightarrow S^D\]

The inverse ilr transformation is defined as follows:

\[ilr^{-1}(x) = \bigoplus\limits_{i=1}^{D-1} x \odot e_i\]

where \([e_1,\ldots, e_{D-1}]\) is an orthonormal basis in the simplex.

If an orthonormal basis isn’t specified, the J. J. Egozcue orthonormal basis derived from Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization [1] will be used by default.

Changed in version 0.7.0: The function now works on any dimension in arrays of any number of dimensions.

Parameters:
matarray_like of shape (…, n_components - 1, …)

A matrix of ILR-transformed data.

basisndarray or sparse matrix, optional

Orthonormal basis for Aitchison simplex. Defaults to J. J. Egozcue orthonormal basis.

axisint, optional

Axis along which ILR transformation will be performed. That is, each vector along this axis is considered as a ILR transformed composition data. Default is the last axis (-1).

Added in version 0.7.0.

validatebool, default True

Check to see if basis is orthonormal and dimension matches.

Changed in version 0.7.0: Renamed from check. The old name is kept as an alias but is deprecated.

Returns:
ndarray of shape (…, n_components, …)

Inverse ILR-transformed matrix.

Notes

If the basis parameter is specified, it is expected to be a basis in the Aitchison simplex. If there are \(D - 1\) elements specified in mat, then the dimensions of the basis needs be \((D-1) \times D\), where rows represent basis vectors, and the columns represent proportions.
