[R] Log random number

[Julian Burgos]

Hi Tobias,

You'll have to explain what you mean with "log transformed values".  If 
your question is if it is possible to generate random numbers from a 
normal distribution (using rnorm()) and then getting their logarithm, 
then you can do that with the obvious caveat that the logarithm is not 
defined for negative numbers.
