Add Log2,e^x, 2^x, n^x transformations

Saves me from writing Javascript transformations:)

By log2 you mean logarithm to base 2, rather than to base e or 10?

constant^ can be done by adding a new column containing the constant first, but obviously that is rather clunky. I guess we could allow value 1 to be a constant, instead of a column. Possibly also build in some common constants. e.g. extra field:

Value 1 type: column / constant* / e / pi

*=user supplies value in extra field.

Iā€™m not sure what other constants would be useful.

I will give it some thought.

What sort of transformation are you doing that requires extensive use of logs and exponents? And why log2?

Yes I mean logarithm base 2 or a binary logarithm.

I use it in bioinformatic analysis.

Doubling rate can be described by a log ratio of 1, a halving rate can be described by a log ratio of āˆ’1, and an unchanged expression rate can be described by a log ratio of 0.

I will add log2() to the wishlist.

This will be in the next release.
