Kernel Density Estimation for Compositional Data

J. Aitchison and I. J. Lauder

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1985, vol. 34, issue 2, 129-137

Abstract: Although rich parametric families of distributions over the simplex now exist for describing patterns of variability of compositional data, there remain problems where such descriptions fail. For such cases this paper suggests two main kernel methods of density estimation and compares their performance on real and simulated data sets.
