The “log10” Function in R
Package: Base R (No specific package, it’s a built-in function)
Purpose: To compute the base-10 logarithm of a numeric vector.
General Class: Mathematical Computation
Required Argument(s):
x: A numeric vector for which the base-10 logarithm is to be computed.
Notable Optional Arguments:
None
Example:
# Example usage
my_vector <- c(1, 10, 100, 1000)
# Compute the base-10 logarithm
log10_values <- log10(my_vector)
print(log10_values)In this example, log10 is a built-in function in base R, and it is used to compute the base-10 logarithm of a numeric vector. The x argument is the required numeric vector for which the logarithm is calculated. There are no notable optional arguments for this function. The result is a numeric vector where each element represents the base-10 logarithm of the corresponding element in the input vector.
