Create the definition of a log transformation function (base specified by user) to be applied on a data set

Create the definition of the log Transformation that will be applied on some parameter via the transform method. The definition of this function is currently x<-log(x,logbase)*(r/d). The transformation would normally be used to convert to a linear valued parameter to the natural logarithm scale. Typically r and d are both equal to 1.0. Both must be positive. logbase = 10 corresponds to base 10 logarithm.

logTransform(transformationId="defaultLogTransform", logbase=10, r=1, d=1)

Arguments

transformationId	character string to identify the transformation
logbase	positive double that corresponds to the base of the logarithm.
r	positive double that corresponds to a scale factor.
d	positive double that corresponds to a scale factor

Value

Returns an object of class transform.
