compreg estimates a compositional regression with isometric log-ratio (ILR) transformation of the components. Compositional regression with isometric log-ratio (ILR) transformation is a statistical method used when dealing with compositional data, independent variables represent parts of a whole and sum up to a constant, e.g. 1, 100%, or any number.
