title: 'cndplantanalysis: Compositional Nutrient Diagnosis for Plant Tissue Analysis'
version: 1.0.2
abstract: Provides an implementation of Compositional Nutrient Diagnosis (CND) for
  plant tissue tests. Computes scale invariant simplex filling values(Rd), row-centered
  log-ratios (CLR), iterative database partitioning via Cate-Nelson procedures, cubic
  polynomial regression of cumulative variance ratio functions to determine inflection
  point yield cutoffs, critical CND nutrient imbalance thresholds (r^2) using the
  chi-square distribution, diagnostic standardized indices (Ix) and automated Cate
  Nelson scatter partitioning. Includes linear, non-linear, cumulative variance, chi-square
  and quadrant plotting functions.Methodology and theoretical frameworks are grounded
  in Parent and Dafir (1992) <https://doi.org/10.21273/JASHS.117.2.239> and Khiari
  et al. (2001) <https://doi.org/10.2134/agronj2001.934802x>.
