Consider:

> exp(log(1:11))
[1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11
> 2^log(1:11, 2)
[1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11
> 2^logb(1:11, 2)
[1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11
> 10^log10(1:11)
[1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11
> 2^log2(1:11)
[1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11

Does this answer the question?

     hope this helps. spencer graves

Dear R-users,

I have a basic question about how to determine the antilog of a variable.

Say I have some number, x, which is a factor of 2 such that x = 2^y. I want to figure out what y is, i.e. I am looking for the antilog base 2 of x.

I have found log2 in the Reference Manual. But I am struggling how to get the antilog of that.

Any help will be appreciated!
