Ln(Input: Variant): Variant;
Input. Variable.
The Ln method returns a natural logarithm of specified variable points.
Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the MS identifier. A model with the MODEL_D identifier calculated by the method of determinate equation and containing at least one input variable must be available in this container.

After executing the example the model calculates natural logarithm of the first input variable points.
Expression 1:
Ln({Brazil|BCA})
Result: natural logarithm of Brazil|BCA factor observations is calculated.
Use: it can be used in formulas of calculated series of time series database and model formulas of modeling container that is a child of the time series database.
Expression 2:
Ln(X1)
Result: natural logarithm is calculated for the X1 factor points.
Use: it can be used in model formulas of modeling container.
Expression 3:
Ln(4)
Result: 1.39.
Use: it can be used in formulas of calculated series of time series database and modeling container models.
