Hi Angus!
Yes, I saw your post already. I guessed that also, but concentrated on CV vs. sigma – which may make one’s life miserable. In PK (with a few exceptions) ln is used, because it comes handy dealing with the calculus. It’s much easier with base e than with base 10. Of course any base can be used, even the logarithmus dualis (ld – base 2); not uncommon in the IT world. As long as you are consistent, everything is fine.
Some anecdotes: I once saw an application for Australia, where log10 was used. So far, so good. But next they fiddled around with a posteriori power (sigh!). In calculating the CVintra they used the common formula, ignoring that their MSE was in log10 rather than loge scale and got stuck. Gotcha! I also saw an enquiry from the Malaysian authority, asking whether log10 or loge was used in the analysis. Obviously they had a good reason to ask.
