transform_log: Transforms the intensities by calculating their log
Description
Log-transforms intensities. The default (base = 10) calculates the log10.
This transformation can help reduce heteroscedasticity. See references for more information.
Usage
transform_log(data, base = 10)
Value
A tibble with log-transformed intensities.
Arguments
data
A tidy tibble created by read_featuretable.
base
Which base should be used for the log-transformation. The default (10) means that log10 values of the intensities are calculated.
