Description: The scECODA R package provides a complete workflow for the 
    analysis and visualization of compositional data, primarily focusing on 
    cell type proportions derived from single-cell data. It implements 
    specialized methods, such as the Centered Log-Ratio (CLR) transformation, 
    to properly analyze proportional data while avoiding the biases introduced 
    by the compositional constraint. The package encapsulates data management, 
    transformation, and analysis into a single SummarizedExperiment object,
    offering downstream tools for dimensionality reduction via PCA, calculating 
    critical metrics like the Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) and Modularity to 
    quantify sample grouping quality, and generating high-quality visualizations
    like heatmaps and scatter plots.
