Feature request: flexible log base

Post by benprytherch »

Hi, any chance of getting a general LOG function under "Compute"? Currently there's natural log and log base 10. Log base 2 and log base 1.01 are particularly useful bases for interpretability's sake (convenient to interpret multiplicative changes of x2 or x1.01). If R's log() function were implemented in which "base=" is an argument, the user could choose whatever base desired.

Thanks for making an excellent product! I run a high enrollment introductory course at a state university and I just switched over to jamovi. My students aren't complaining anywhere near as much as they used to about software, and those who go on to do data analysis will have a much easier time than they would with some other popular packages.
