geom_mean: Geometric Mean

In birk: MA Birk's Functions

Description

Computes the geometric mean of a vector, x. It is a wrapper for exp(mean(log(x))).

Usage

geom_mean(x, add0.001 = FALSE, ignore_neg = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	a numeric vector or an R object which is coercible to one by as.vector(x, "numeric”).
add0.001	logical. Should a small constant (0.001) be added to avoid issues with zeroes?
ignore_neg	logical. Should negative values be ignored to avoid NaNs?
...	further arguments passed to mean.
