I help people communicate data clearly with graphs. There are two main reasons to use logarithmic scales in charts and graphs. The first is to respond to skewness towards large values; i.e., cases ...

Excel defaults to a linear scale for graphs, but you can easily change it to logarithmic to suit wide data ranges or logarithmic phenomena. The Chart Wizard produces graphs with linear scales.

such that they will easily fit in the same scale on a graph. But you don't have to actually take the log of the data. There is another option—use a non-linear vertical axis. Here's what that ...

I help people communicate data clearly with graphs. In “When Should I Use Logarithmic Scales in My Charts and Graphs”, I showed the revenues of the top 60 Forbes 500 companies using both ...

The data look very different when plotted on what is called a logarithmic scale. In a typical graph, values on the (vertical) y-axis are plotted linearly: 1, 2, 3, and so on, or 10, 20 ...

Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth. This implies the formula of this growth is \(y = k{x^n}\), where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we ...

Graphs and charts are much easier to read ... and manage arbitrary lines of text and get it into meaningful data. Despite it’s name, Logstash is not restricted for sole use as a log-aggregation system ...
