Re: [R] compositional data: percent values sum up to 1

[Spencer Graves]

"glm" will do multinomial logistic regression.  However, if J is large, 
I doubt if that will do what you want.  If it were my problem, I might 
feel a need to read the code for "glm" and modify it to do what I want. 
 Perhaps someone else can suggest something better.

I want to do a logistic regression analysis, and to compare with, a

the dependent variable (not mentioned so far) is a diagnosis

thanks for the interest and the help

again, under another subject:
sorry, maybe an all too trivial question. But we have power data from J
frequency spectra and to have the same range for the data of all our
subjects, we just transformed them into % values, pseudo-code:
power[i,j]=power[i,j]/sum(power[i,1:J])

of course, now we have a perfect linear relationship in our x design-matrix,
since all power-values for each subject sum up to 1.
How shall we solve this problem: just eliminate one column of x, or
introduce a restriction which says exactly that our power data sum up to
1 for each subject?
Thanks a lot
