“…These multi-dimensional diagrams have been positively evaluated and used by the original authors as well as several workers (e.g., Rajesh, 2007;Sheth, 2008;Aparicio and García, 2009;Polat et al, 2009aPolat et al, , 2009bPolat et al, , 2011Ramakrishnan, 2009;Verma, 2009Verma, , 2010Verma, , 2012bBailie et al, 2010Bailie et al, , 2012Slovenec et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2010;Pandarinath and Verma, 2013;. Importantly, the proposal of these newer diagrams Agrawal et al, 2008;Verma and Agrawal, 2011) and their use fully complies with the statistical requirements for handling compositional data (Aitchison, 1986;Agrawal and Verma, 2007;Verma, 2012a).…”
