More arguments for storing information in BASE about how data is stored.
If users run the Jep Intensity Transformer plug-in and transforms all intensities to logged intensities the values are stored as logged values in BASE. After this point the user must remember that all work on this branch in the analysis tree is in log space (at least until data is transformed again). All that is fine but what if the user selects to normalize with 'Average Normalization' from the net.sf.basedb.normalizers package? This normalization will always use geometric mean as the averager. Geometric mean makes sense for non-logged data but arithmetic mean makes sense for logged data.
There is two solution to this; i) If BASE knows if data is in log space or not the plug-in could use this information to automatically select the appropriate averaging method, ii) Add 'select average method functionality' to the normalization plug-in. In the latter case the user needs to be informed about how to choose the average method, whereas if BASE stores log space information the plug-in automatically selects the appropriate average method. Of course, i) and ii) can co-exist where the plug-in uses log space information to set an appropriate default.
