A logarithmic graph can also help make it clear if the apparent evening-out of the curve started to change. While a linear curve would keep on pushing ever higher regardless, the logarithmic graph would highlight any substantial changes to the trend – whether upward or downward.
In the future, the ability to leverage the power of computational modeling, artificial intelligence will facilitate a logarithmic explosion of clinically relevant correlations. This will enable discovery of new therapies and novel markers which will empower clinicians to more precisely manage risk for individuals and populations.
A view from Japan What's a logarithmic graph and how does it help explain the spread of COVID-19? “In this crisis, there can be no half-measures,” the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said. “And that will be the case for years to come as we seek to lift our economy out of the crisis valley.
Cybersecurity is not just a software issue. The underlying technology on which our software runs is vulnerable, too - which is why it's time to talk about hardware security
The chart is on a logarithmic scale, emphasizing the progress made towards making solar power more affordable. As the bubble on the chart highlights, the fall in module costs has been dramatic. For every doubling in the number of solar panels, costs fall by 26%. This cost is known as solar energy’s ‘learning rate’.
The chart uses a logarithmic scale for deaths, which means the reduction in conflict mortality rates in the 20th Century is sharper than it appears at first sight. Author: Mark Jones is Commissioning Editor for the World Economic Forum
These three charts show the surprising resilience of global trade by volume in the face of shocks, and how the centre of global trade gravity is shifting.
Though the quake in 2010 measured 7.0, the Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning that Saturday's earthquake released twice as much energy as the previous one. It was felt in Jamaica, more than 200 miles (320 km) away. Damage caused on Saturday so far appears less than in 2010, the reasons for which are being studied.
The fact that both metrics changed exponentially can be nicely seen in this chart because both axes are logarithmic. On a logarithmic axis a measure that declines exponentially follows a straight line.
The Travel & Tourism Development Index 2024 is the second edition of an index that evolved from the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) series, a flagship index of the World Economic Forum.
