what is computationally more efficient
Hi there,
I want to compute a geometric average. would it be faster to multiply values and then take the nth root over the result, or to sum logs and then take exp() of the result? Thank you

The best and often the only way to tell is to test both variants.
However it's safe to say that a multiplication is much faster than log().
