2 preliminaries descriptive statistics stardisation biplot balance-dendrogram the starting point It is sometimes considered a paradox that the answer depends not only on the observations but on the question: it should be a platitude. Harold Jeffreys the starting point is (or should be) always a question the second step is proper sampling to answer the question the next step is checking for zeros in the data then one can proceed with exploratory analysis

3 preliminaries descriptive statistics stardisation biplot balance-dendrogram the starting point It is sometimes considered a paradox that the answer depends not only on the observations but on the question: it should be a platitude. Harold Jeffreys the starting point is (or should be) always a question the second step is proper sampling to answer the question the next step is checking for zeros in the data then one can proceed with exploratory analysis

4 preliminaries descriptive statistics stardisation biplot balance-dendrogram the treatment of zeros case : the part with zeros is not important for the study the part should be omitted case 2: the part is important, the zeros are essential divide the sample into two or more populations, according to the presence/absence of zeros case 3: the part is important, the zeros are rounded zeros use imputation techniques
