  2. Peripeteia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripeteia

    Aristotle says that peripeteia is the most powerful part of a plot in a tragedy along with discovery. A peripety is the change of the kind described from one state of things within the play to its opposite, and that too in the way we are saying, in the probable or necessary sequence of events.

  3. Semi-log plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-log_plot

    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. It is useful for data with exponential relationships, where one variable covers a large range of values. [1]

  4. Foreshadowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreshadowing

    In relation to foreshadowing, the literary critic Gary Morson describes its opposite, sideshadowing. [11] Found notably in the epic novels of Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky, sideshadowing is the practice of including scenes that turn out to have no relevance to the plot. That, according to Morson, increases the verisimilitude of the fiction ...

    Cartesian plane with marked points (signed ordered pairs of coordinates). For any point, the abscissa is the first value (x coordinate), and the ordinate is the second value (y coordinate).

  6. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

    Semi-log plot of the Internet host count over time shown on a logarithmic scale. A logarithmic scale (or log scale) is a method used to display numerical data that spans a broad range of values, especially when there are significant differences between the magnitudes of the numbers involved.

  7. Inverse Gaussian distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_Gaussian_distribution

    The inverse Gaussian distribution is a two-parameter exponential family with natural parameters −λ/(2μ 2) and −λ/2, and natural statistics X and 1/X.. For > fixed, it is also a single-parameter natural exponential family distribution [2] where the base distribution has density

  8. Plot (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(graphics)

    Surface plot : In this visualization of the graph of a bivariate function, a surface is plotted to fit a set of data triplets (X, Y, Z), where Z if obtained by the function to be plotted Z=f(X, Y). Usually, the set of X and Y values are equally spaced. Optionally, the plotted values can be color-coded.

  9. Plot hole - Wikipedia

    Types of plot hole include: Factual errors Historical anachronisms, or incorrect statements about the world. [2]Impossible events Something that defies the laws of science, as established for the story's setting.
