If you take the logarithm of a negative number, NaN is about
as good an answer as you can hope for :)

You shouldn't really throw away your data just because it's negative,
but if you insist that you don't want those, just remove the negatives
before calling log and you'll be all set.

However, if I were the referee of your paper and you would describe
that you just throw away negative data I would be very critical of
that -
might as well take away all your data and do theory instead, no? ;)

Ciao,
Paolo
