German term or phrase: Entlogarithmieren
Mittelwert transformierter Größen:
Unter Umständen ist eine Transformation der Einzelwerte angebracht. So liefert z.B. der arithmetische Mittelwert von logarithmierten Einzelwerten nach dem Entlogarithmieren den geometrischen Mittelwert.

I know "logarithmieren" is to take the logarithm or to logarithmize, but what is it called when you undo/reverse that process?

TIA, Beth
