This post offers reasons for using logarithmic scales, also called log scales, on charts and graphs. It explains when logarithmic graphs with base 2 are preferred to logarithmic graphs with base ...

Odds are you haven't used logarithms since your teacher introduced them to you in high school mathematics, if you can remember back that far. But for investors who count on price charts to gauge stock ...

But that number is based on a logarithmic scale, and can be hard to grasp. Earthquakes aren't measured linearly, but in orders of magnitude.

This example uses a DATA step to generate data. The PROC PLOT step shows two plots of the same data -- one plot without a horizontal axis specification and one plot with a logarithmic scale specified ...

There is disagreement on the proper way to label logarithmic scales in charts and graphs, especially when the base is not 10. This post shows several alternative ways of labeling log scales ...

More precisely, the Richter scale is logarithmic, so the amplitude of a magnitude 8 quake is 10 times greater than that of a magnitude 7 quake.
