title: Taking cube root and log transformation in R
body: <p>I have a table with row names corresponding to a set of people and their corresponding body mass estimates. For instance, say a matrix "mass estimate" with these values: </p>
  
  <pre><code>   Name      Mass
  1 person_a   234
  2 person_b   190
  3 person_c   203
  4 person_d   176
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How will I, in a single line of R code, take the cube roots of the masses and then have them log transformed? </p>
  
  <p>I am not sure how to ask the data above in a table format, since the final question shows it on a single line. The first column reads "Name" and the second column reads "Mass". Each row has a name (person_a) and the mass (234).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
