decibel function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>a real positive numeric value.</dd><dt>na.zero</dt>
<dd>logical value controlling the handing of zeros in the data. If <code>TRUE</code>, the
zero values are replaced with NAs prior to converting to decibels, avoiding an error when
attempting to take the logarithm of zero.</dd>
<dt>type</dt>
<dd>an integer signifying the decibel form to use in the conversion.
If <code>type=1</code> \(10 * log10(x)\) is used to convert the input
and \(20 * log10(x)\) is used for <code>type=2</code>.</dd></dl>
