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 ...

Those skyrocketing curves tell an alarming story. But logarithmic graphs can help reveal when the pandemic begins to slow. By Kenneth Chang The arc of coronavirus cases in Italy is frightening ...

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 ...

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 ...

Gaussian curves, normal curves and bell curves are synonymous. Each represents how statistical data with normal distribution plots on a graph. Normal distribution describes a particular way ...

Courtesy The 91-DIVOC graphs can be viewed in linear and logarithmic formats. Linear curves display cumulative cases as a function of time. However, as cases grow exponentially, as they typically ...
