  2. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

    A base-10 log scale is used for the Y-axis of the bottom left graph, and the Y-axis ranges from 0.1 to 1000. The top right graph uses a log-10 scale for just the X-axis, and the bottom right graph uses a log-10 scale for both the X axis and the Y-axis. Presentation of data on a logarithmic scale can be helpful when the data:

  3. Log–log plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loglog_plot

    In science and engineering, a loglog graph or loglog plot is a two-dimensional graph of numerical data that uses logarithmic scales on both the horizontal and vertical axes. Power functions – relationships of the form y = a x k {\displaystyle y=ax^{k}} – appear as straight lines in a loglog graph, with the exponent corresponding to ...

  4. Semi-log plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-log_plot

    The linear–log type of a semi-log graph, defined by a logarithmic scale on the x axis, and a linear scale on the y axis. Plotted lines are: y = 10 x (red), y = x (green), y = log(x) (blue). In science and engineering, a semi-log plot/graph or semi-logarithmic plot/graph has one axis on a logarithmic scale, the other on a linear scale.

  5. Zipf's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf's_law

    Zipf's law plot for the first 10 million words in 30 Wikipedias (as of October 2015) in a log-log scale In many texts in human languages, word frequencies approximately follow a Zipf distribution with exponent s close to 1; that is, the most common word occurs about n times the n -th most common one.

  6. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory

    A drawing of a graph with 6 vertices and 7 edges.. In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects.

  7. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    The graph of the logarithm function log b (x) (blue) is obtained by reflecting the graph of the function b x (red) at the diagonal line (x = y). As discussed above, the function log b is the inverse to the exponential function x ↦ b x {\displaystyle x\mapsto b^{x}} .

  8. Benford's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford's_law

    Loglog graph of the probability that a number starts with the digit(s) n, for a distribution satisfying Benford's law. The points show the exact formula, P(n) = log 10 (1 + 1/n). The graph tends towards the dashed asymptote passing through (1, log 10 e) with slope −1 in loglog scale. The example in yellow shows that the probability of a ...

  9. Likelihood function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood_function

    The log-likelihood function being plotted is used in the computation of the score (the gradient of the log-likelihood) and Fisher information (the curvature of the log-likelihood). Thus, the graph has a direct interpretation in the context of maximum likelihood estimation and likelihood-ratio tests.
