  Function to perform isometric log-ratio transformation

    <h2>Arguments</h2>
    <dl>
      <dt>x</dt>
      <dd>
    A numeric vector. Naturally, the forward transformation is only sensible for
    vectors with all elements being greater than zero.
  </dd>

    <div class="Description">
      <h2>Description</h2>

      <p>This implementation is a special case of the class of isometric log-ratio transformations.</p>
  
    </div>

    <div class="Value">
      <h2>Value</h2>

      <p><dl>
  The result of the forward or backward transformation. The returned components always 
  sum to 1 for the case of the inverse log-ratio transformation.
