![]() ![]() While using logarithmic scale both smaller valued data as well as bigger valued data can be captured in the plot more accurately to provide a holistic view of the data.When the values of data vary between very small values and very large values – the linear scale will miss out the smaller values thus conveying a wrong picture of the underlying phenomenon.Examples of logarithmic scales include growth of microbes, mortality rate due to epidemics and so on.On a logarithmic scale as the distance in the axis increases the corresponding value increases exponentially.On a linear scale as the distance in the axis increases the corresponding value also increases linearly.A semi log plot is a graph where the data in one axis is on logarithmic scale (either X Axis or Y axis) and the data in the other axis is on normal scale – that is linear scale.If you want to know how the trend lines are calculated in Datawrapper, they are based on the Javascript module r egression-js so take a look at their GitHub page for details. These are just some general hints and there are many other ways to calculate and determine the best-fit trend line for your data. Log-log plot (when both axes are in log scales): choose power - when both axes are log scales, choosing a power trend line will draw a straight trend line between the two variables.Big Bang timeline, frequency distribution, pH distribution, etc.) Log-linear plot (when the horizontal axis is a log scale): choose logarithmic - this is less common compared to linear-log plot but for example used to show when data on the horizontal axis is unevenly distributed toward one end of the scale (e.g.COVID case numbers) or exponential decay (e.g. ![]()
