In questo lavoro si presentano le principali caratteristiche della Compositional Data Analysis, soffermandosi sul problema dell’applicazione di tecniche classiche di statistica multivariata su dati composizionali. Successivamente i metodi di analisi e trasformazione di dati composizionali vengono applicati ad un dataset inerente a un caso aziendale di Cross Selling relativo alle quantità di macro famiglie di prodotti acquistate dai clienti della società di automazione industriale Festo S.p.A. (ed alle relazioni che intercorrono tra le varie famiglie), cercando di capire, tramite l’applicazione di analisi di statistica multivariata come PCA, Clustering, K-means e Classificazione Supervisionata, se le strategie aziendali per lo sviluppo di campagne di marketing relative al Cross Selling abbiano evidenza statistica.
