Hyperbolic {base} | R Documentation

## Hyperbolic Functions

### Description

These functions give the obvious hyperbolic functions. They respectively compute the hyperbolic cosine, sine, tangent, and their inverses, arc-cosine, arc-sine, arc-tangent (or “area cosine”, etc).

### Usage

    cosh(x)
    sinh(x)
    tanh(x)
    acosh(x)
    asinh(x)
    atanh(x)

### Arguments

`x` | a numeric or complex vector

### Details

These are generic functions: methods can be defined for them individually or via the `Math` group generic.

Branch cuts are consistent with the inverse trigonometric functions `asin()` et seq, and agree with those defined in Abramowitz and Stegun, figure 4.7, page 86.

The logistic distribution function `plogis` is a shifted version of `tanh()` for numeric `x`.
