Resumo: Compositional data consist of known compositions vectors whose components are positive and defined in the interval (0,1) representing proportions or fractions of a “whole”. The sum of these components must be equal to one. Compositional data is present in different areas, as in ecology, economy, medicine among many others. In this way, there is a great interest in new modeling approaches for compositional data. In this study we introduced additive log-ratio (alr) and Box-Cox transformations models used for compositional data, under uncorrelated normal errors. The main objective of this project is to apply Bayesian methods to these models using standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to simulate samples of the joint posterior of interest. We apply the proposed methodology in two data sets, whereas one of them is about an experiment of repeated measures where we introduced a random effect variable to capture the dependence for the longitudinal data and also the introduction of two extra random effects in the model. These modeling results could be of great interest in the applied work dealing with compositional data sets.
