log_shift: Log transformation with an additive shift

Description

Function that shifts a value by some offset and then applies the natural logarithm to it.

Usage

log_shift(x, offset = 0, base = exp(1))

Value

A numeric vector with transformed values

Arguments

x

vector of input values to be transformed

offset

number to add to the input value before taking the natural logarithm

base

a positive or complex number: the base with respect to which logarithms are computed. Defaults to e = exp(1).

Details

The output is computed as log(x + offset)
