public class LogTranslator
extends Object
implements TranslatorAPI

Title: LogTranslator

Description: Translates values into the log space and back. Throws translate errors when trying to take the log of negative or zero values.

Implementation of a translation framework. These concrete TranslatorAPI classes can be passed into a TranslatedParameter, then the parameter will use this class to translate values when getting and setting values in the parameter.

This one instance is used to let users deal with the log of a value in the IMRTesterApplet, but the IMR when it does it's calculation it uses the normal space values.
