There exist at least two R packages for analysis of compositional data (Templ and others, 2023; van den Boogaart, 2024). Both packages have many functions for various types of analysis. Nonetheless, a package that performs just the computations for compositional data is needed for at least two reasons: First, such a basic package can be incorporated into other packages that perform...

BMRGSU is software developed by the U.S. Geological Survey for Bayesian mapping of regionally-grouped, sparse, univariate, Earth-science data. This software implements an algorithm that smooths the estimated property across regions so that the deleterious effects of sparse data are mitigated. The algorithm can account for measurements that are censored, it can process multiple datasets...
