geosdR Documentation

Compute the "geometric standard deviation" of log-normal data.

Description

geosd computes the anti-log of the standard deviation of log10-transformed data.

Usage

geosd(x)

Arguments

x

A numeric value, vector or list.

Details

The "geometric standard deviation" is not as well-defined as the geometric mean. Here we apply the analogous concept of the geometric mean to the sd.

Value

The anti-log of the sd of log-transformed data 'x'. Base 10 is assumed as a fixed default in this version.
