Experiment.center_log_ratio(method=<function <lambda>>, centralize=False, inplace=False)[source]

Performs a clr transform to normalize each sample.

Parameters:
  • method (callable, optional) – An optional function to specify how the pseudocount method should be handled (to deal with zeros in the matrix)
  • centralize (bool, optional) – centralize feature-wise to zero or not
  • inplace (bool, optional) – False (default) to create a new experiment, True to normalize in place
Returns:
