Calculate the deformed logarithm of order q.
ln_q(x, q)Value
A vector of the same length as x containing the transformed values.
Details
The deformed logarithm Tsallis1994divent is defined as \(\ln_q{x}=\frac{(x^{(1-q)}-1)}{(1-q)}\).
The shape of the deformed logarithm is similar to that of the regular one. \(\ln_1{x}=\log{x}\).
For \(q>1\), \(\ln_q{(+\infty)}=\frac{1}{(q-1)}\).
