Hi,
I am trying to represent my data in log2 form rather than "fold change" and I am embarrassed to say I can't remember how convert the error.
For example, I have x=3.96 (mean), deltax=0.28 (standard dev).
Thus, log2(x)=0.598.
But how do I convert the error??
I know how to do it for log10: 0.434(deltax/x) but I can't for the life of me remember how to derive it for an arbitrary base.
Any help/pointers much appreciated.
Thanks!
